I'm late getting the post party update out...it definitely took me longer to "recover" from the party this year. Not sure if that was because I had such a good time or if it is age related. Thank you to Becky, Karen, and Dan!! This party is only successful because they make it so we all have everything we need through out the evening! Thank you!!
Here are the numbers! We raised $1296.00 for the Dayton YWCA Women's Shelter. Thank you for your generosity!!! That brings the total raised for 2010 to $3616 and the total raised since 2008 to $8516. It continues to amaze me how much we have been able to raise through our very generous friends. We love that we can all come together and make a difference.
In case you didn't realize because I certainly didn't, 100 people celebrated the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 with us consuming 8 lbs of beef, 9 lbs of pork, and 8 lbs of shrimp. In addition, we went through 2918.75ml of liquor (seems low to me), 32 bottles of beer (and no they were not on the wall), 16 bottles of red wine, 10 bottles of champagne, 11 bottles of white wine, 23 cans of pop, and 80 bottles of water.
