Fundraiser update

Grazie...Grazie...Grazie...

The fundraiser would not have been a success without the friends and family who showed up yesterday, August 11, at Fairmount Park to support Diana and Amanda.

It was another amazing afternoon. The weather was perfect. The venue was beautiful. Fairmount Park couldn't have looked better. Thank you to the City of Riverside Park and Recreation people for cleaning up the area so nicely.

Thanks to our family and friends who showed up, not only to help monetarily, but helped with unloading our cars, setting up the grills with charcoal, barbecueing, "swooshing of flies" from the food, and then clean-up: Of course, I want to say thanks to Olga and Marcello, Diana's parents, for providing the meats, "hot" salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole and rice. Everything was soooooo delicious!

Thank you to Bea and Gary for barbecueing. They arrived early and immediately went to work cooking. Wow!!

Karen and Clint Bradford for providing the hot dog and hamburger buns, ice and serving trays.

Pam Nusser, for the very delicious chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Yummy!!!

Michael McFarland for providing the music through his computer and speakers.

Thank you to the following friends and family who attended the barbecue. The girls raised just over $600.

I really hoped to post the photo's that Karen Bradford took. However, I'm still learning how to use my MAC and I just could not get this computer to post them. Please come back and visit later this week.

Grazie, grazie, grazie... I truly am grateful for all the support.
