Golf Tournament recap

I'm always amazed at the generosity of people. We didn't think we were going to make a whole bunch of money from the tournament, probably enough to pay for most of our housing for the April trip but we weren't really sure. Then things started happening.

We had extra chicken in the freezer from a youth function, so we used that for the dinner. There were spare ribs donated to the church, fully cooked and just hanging out in someones freezer. We used those. We used the extra polish dogs and cheesecake from another event and another lovely person brought a salad. Add to that the donated potato salad and fruit and the only thing we paid for was hot dog buns. The BBQ cost $10. Add to that generous people who gave more than they needed and we came out paying for our housing with a little more for other expenses.

And then I used the beautiful Katrina Cottage Bank that Norm made as a centerpiece for the table. In the top is a slot for people to put their change, something that I figured we'd start putting out in August as we get closer to the December trip. But I used it for a centerpiece tonight and people put money in it...not just change either! $106 to be exact! Wow! Overwhelmed and blessed tonight. Thanks golfers and thank you God!
