LADIES NIGHT OUT....For CASA........
Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children. http://www.slocasa.org/
I've been helping them do fundraising for almost 4 years and when you think about fundraising, it brings to mind a fun night with silent auctions, maybe some good wine and spending some money to help a group do good things. This night is all of that..... and then sooooo much more. Bill and his amazing crew at San Luis Obispo Country Club www.slocountryclub.com provided food and set the stage for a room full of professional Women to have fun with a huge list of raffle prizes being given away throughout the night. We up-lit the room in hot pink and hosted a dance floor full of these gorgeous Women just flat out going off! ...lol The raffle included prizes like Cases of great wine, weekend get aways to Reno, Symphony nights out, Spa Days and Hair styles, (even a new IPAD 4!) so many great winners with all of the money raised being donated.
The Executive Director for CASA, The wonderful Theresa Tardiff spoke about the kids they help and the importance of events such as this to CASA for the kids who will need them in the future and how much it means to our community. We love Alyssa Maddren, she's our contact for CASA, she's the Event Coordinator she keeps us on point and on time and without her we would fall apart...lol If it all seems warm and fuzzy, it's because it is, they believe so whole heartedly in the cause they represent that it shows in everything they do.
I would be leaving out a huge part of this night if I didn't tell you about some friends of mine that are the motivating force behind this and so many other events. The Meathead Movers, et. Al. www.meatheadmovers.com ........Funny Name :) .... but a Super successful company that has grown up from our community to become a West Coast Force in the Moving Industry. My good friends Aaron & Erin Steed, Evan Steed, even beautiful Angela & so many of their staff members. I started doing events like this (I call it Having fun - doing good) years ago at the invitation of Aaron Steed, at first I thought "well this will be fun" but I just looked at it as another dance floor to rock. Now after all of these amazing events I wouldn't give them up for all the money in the world and CASA is one of the best. Meathead has a large group pf student athlete's in tuxedo's that host the Ladies all night and add a fun element competing for tips that all get donated back. It needs to be said that every one of the Meathead staff donate their time and energy to this event, some of these guys are professional athlete's now or will be soon and go on to every kind of success you can think of. I also want to mention James who is a Mgr. for Meathead, he is a calming force for their crew and is a great addition to their group.
If you don't do anything for anyone else this year, attend a CASA event and Have Fun Doing Good, We do and we love it.
