A, D and myself, were kept busy from the time we went in to set things up at 630, until about just before 11pm when we finally finished the raffle draw, then it was time to dance, something I don't usually do, but I kept getting dragged up.
We were raising money for Aberdeen Breast Cancer Research Fund, and with donations, gift aid, ticket sales and raffle and silent auction - we raised an astounding £4379!!!! Totally humbling and amazing, especially given time of year, everyones finances etc. BIG BIG thank you to everyone who donated, helped and especially D and A. I even managed to do a speech, after which, a few strangers in the bar came up to me and said well done and great speech!!
Anyway, had a fab night, although I/We did not recognise everyone, most we did. Intend to make it an annual fundraiser, with hopefully mini get togethers in between times.
Todays saying.....
Anyone can give up, its the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, thats true strength..... Live Laugh Love
