Fundraiser

Last Friday was the Prairie Christian School (PCS) spring fundraiser. (This is the small private christian school that my cousins went to, whom I am living with, and one cousin still attends, and both their parents work there - one as a teacher, the other as the treasurer).  The format of this fundraiser was a dinner followed by a live auction.   It was quite exciting!  I have never been to a live auction, that I recall.  The auctioneers were very entertaining and fun to watch and listen too and they helped the night be all the more exciting.  There were over 120 items sold, and prices were high, people were generous in their giving.   There was items of nearly all types from gift cards, to lake days and parties, to books, games, toys, furniture, and horse back riding lessons, to beach condo-vacations, a year of dental cleaning and care, to even food.  The list goes on and on.   Some of the food items were widely known as "heavenly", such as a box of rolls that sold for $300/box, or eight dozen Springerles that sold for $125/dozen!!!!  It was a blast!  I bid on a few things, but I was out bid on all of them.  I wished I had more money to bid, because it was so much fun, I wished I could of raised my card/number on all of them.   But I had to remind myself that I am on a budget. 

I spent the evening with a friend who I got to know through my cousins.  Being with him through the night made it a lot more fun too.
