Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser

Tonight was my school's annual "Spaghetti Dinner Scholarship Fundraiser". We sell tickets to eat in the cafeteria (our school's FAMOUS spaghetti sauce is COVETED for MILES around!), and also have a variety of "silent auction" items to bid on. The money raised goes towards scholarships for students who have "graduated" from our school, and helps defray the cost of college (a little...!). We usually end up raising enough to give $1,000.00 awards to two or three recipients.

The staff signs up to work various "aspects" of the dinner...from selling tickets, to serving meals, to cleaning up after it's all over. Janet and I worked the "dish room" again this year for a shift. We had a BLAST last year, scraping trays, and running them through the "dishwasher", so thought we'd give it a try again this year.

I have to admit, LAST YEAR was more fun...this year there was WAY more "washing of hands" (we're scraping dishes...what's up with that??!!), "netting of hair" (I lucked out because my hair was short enough that it didn't NEED to be netted), and "following of rules" (how CAN you spray the "cleaning hose" at each other, if people keep telling you NOT to??!!).

Good cause...our shift didn't have much "business" (too early in the evening)...and we can now say that we HELPED with the cause...what more can you ask for??!!

Here's a picture from LAST year's fun:



Hope YOUR day involved some "good clean fun"!!!
