Blog neglect (sad face)

I know I've been neglecting my blog over the last few weeks. I think I'm kind of up-to-date now though. The reason for the neglect: I co-organized a fundraiser for the animal welfare shelter PAWS (Peoples Animal Welfare Society). Which was a huge hit! Over 70 people turned out and we raised $2100 for the charity...a success I would say!

We had an evening of food, drinks (the event was sponsored by Mill Street and Creekside Winery), a lot of the Arts Market vendors and Leslieville stores donated some of their products, which resulted in around 13 silent auction baskets, Trivia, there were readings from +Spencer Gordon , Mat Laporte and Jim Smith and live music from Robin Byrd.
It was a total success and I'm really proud of all that Annie (my co-organizer) and I managed to achieve.
I'd do a fundraiser again in a heartbeat...maybe in a few months though!
