We had two great successes last week.
1. Our Peer Social Committee hosted Bingo on Saturday, and 24 people came. Looked like everyone was having fun when I stopped in! This is the first of what we plan to make into a monthly social activity. All are invited!
2. Our 2nd Annual Fundraising Breakfast blew its goal out of the water, with 225 attendees and over $28,000 raised! We are blessed to live in such a supportive community. A special thanks to Gritman for their $5k pledge, and work to help us with upcoming fundraising. Additional thanks to the Best Western University Inn, they always do a good job. My hat is off to the many helpers that made this a success! THANK YOU ALL!
