Week 22 FUNdraising Friday (Tuesday) Update

Well, hello everyone! My my my, what a busy week 22 it was! But it was all worth it! To start off, the fundraiser at Paul's was amazing! We served about 250 people for lunch and dinner and had a wonderful silent auction and 50/50 raffle! We raised about $2900 at the fundraiser which definitely pushed us over the edge! What edge you might ask...the "I can pay off Bethany Christian Services for my adoption anytime I want to" edge! I never even verbalized doing this was a "goal," but man that feels good! Remember, our personal goal is $22,000. However, the Bethany cost of adoption is $18,000. The remaining $4,000 covers any attorney fees we will incur. Here's a few shots of the day (I wish I would have taken more):
