Annual Church Fundraiser

Yesterday was our annual church fund raiser. This year, we were raffling off a house worth $275,000. I won the cash grand prize of $3000 last year, so was almost positive that we wouldn't win this year. It was a really nice evening, the food was good, and our table mates were colleagues of my wife at school. We thought it was perhaps a little too crowded, with a lot of shoulder and elbow bumping, but that's OK. They also had free alcohol all night long, of which I made sure I got my money's worth. Ha. I was definitely feeling it by the end of the night (but not so bad this morning). We did bid on a couple of items, and won one. We purchased my wife's boss as a lawn boy for a day! Woohoo! I doubt we'll ever cash it in, but it's fun holding it over his head. We also went in with 2 other couples and purchased a wine tasting/gourmet dinner. It was a little expensive ($125 per person), but the money goes to our church so it's for a good cause. It sounds fun, and is something we've never done before.
