Saturday Night Fundraiser

The fundraiser held Saturday night was to help Darrell and Jess finance their trip to Africa to complete their adoption of twin girls. It was a great success, and we are so thankful for all the friendships and support. They raised enough to pay for the four tickets needed to bring them all home. What a blessing!


It included a steak dinner, a jazz band, and a silent auction. Close to 200 people came.

Darrell and Tim both play in the jazz band, but Darrell took the night off. Tim is the drummer.

Kaleb having fun with Grandma Schmidt.

The friends at our table bought some of the stoneware I brought for the auction. So glad they went to good homes!

It was an awesome evening and such great fun. And you saw Eleanor's picture of grandma Schmidt playing with Kaleb? Hah!! Fact is she was dancing with Kaleb! Wait 'till the deacons at Martensville Baptist hear that the pastor's son was dancing with an older woman. Oh, yeah, they'll hear about it!!!
