Girls Night In...The Event...

Well, it is over and done for this year. I have learned a few things about holding one, and hope to implement them next year.

Overall it was a good event. Not a large crowd came, but we had enough to make it fun and comfortable talking to everyone. And we sold most of the Auction items - which was the main event for the evening.

In the end I raised roughly $430 for the Cancer Council to help with their research into women's cancers, so that was good. The best selling point was the Raffle (got over half the donation money from it), where the winners were mostly people who lived in my street. Oh...better go and deliver their prizes today sometime.

Anyway. Not a big post. Was going to take photos of the event last night, but never got around to getting the camera out. Hosting is hard enough without trying to find time to take pictures as well. Next year: designate person to take picture/s.

So...next year: better organisation...or planning...(or less procrastination?) to make it an even better night, hopefully.

Well, it's here at last...

My 'Girls Night In' - a charity event to raise money and awareness for women's cancers (donations going towards the Cancer Council of Australia) - has finally arrived, with it occurring tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to it, but at this rate I'm almost ready to make it a free-for-all! That's because I'm not sure how many people are actually planning on coming to the event. Doesn't anybody know how to RSVP anymore?

Anyway, I have some wonderful prizes not only for the Lucky Door Prizes, but also for a Raffle that I designed to have after being donated many vouchers worth quite an amount of money.

If you can't make the event but still wish to contribute, don't stress. There is always the option of contacting me through my Girls Night In Page, where you can leave a message, or you can donate straight through that site for my event.

Hope to see you there, or that you can manage something to help out towards this very worthy cause.

Right now, though, I'd just like to thank a few people for their kind donations towards my Raffle and Lucky Door Prizes:
* Sealevel Restaurant, Cronulla
* Curves (fitness centre), Cronulla
* Cronulla Cinemas
* The Body Shop, Miranda
* Gardner Hair Design, , Kirrawee
* Stonefish Restaurant, Cronulla
* Eagle Boys, Kirrawee
* Boost Juice Bars, Cronulla
* T2, Miranda

Thank you very much to all these shops for their donations of vouchers towards my events. Most appreciated, indeed!
