Spaghetti Dinner Recap

With the spaghetti dinner over, we don't really have much to talk about...except about how the dinner went. 

For most of the week before family and friends were doing their part in preparing for the dinner, Chinese auction and book sale. In our "cancer sucks" apparel, we began the day at 8:30 a.m. ready to rock and roll.

The dinner started at 10 a.m. and we had our first customer around 9:50 a.m.! The line stayed pretty steady and the last person didn't leave until after 6 (when the dinner was to end). It was amazing to see the people who came out to support the cause. We raised over $5,000 for the Bob Perks Cancer Fund. The Chinese auction had 130+ items and the book sale not only had books but toys, stuffed animals and other children's items. From the book sale alone we raised approximately $150. By the end of the day we were all very tired and exhausted but it was well worth all the time and effort we put in to it. 

A special thanks to all of our family, friends, local business, churches and fire companies for the help.
