Not only did we serve in the BPHA presidency together, and live next door to each other, we also did an internship together this past year for the Ouelessebougou Alliance.
We were there to collect donations for their annual dinner auction. We spent months sending letters, and e-mails making phone calls and pick ups and blasting JT on our biweekly commutes to Murray.
The first week of May we spent each day finalizing the little details, and mastering our cute bow tying skills in order to make the big event a success-and it was! The Little America ballroom looked stunning, there were so many people who came, and the items we had collected for moths were quickly sold.
The auction was not only a success but a lot of fun! It was so fun to get all dressed up, mingle with such exciting people, and to see all our hard work pay off to support a worthwhile cause. It made me so happy to be involved with such a great organization and such great people. Mostly though it was especially great to do it all with one of my best friends.
Ash,
You were right-it really was our year in so many ways. Now-lets claim this next one too. And perhaps the one after that? And the next one?
PS Sleepovers and brunch for life. After all we're "classy"enough for it now.
Not only did I get to work with Ashley though-so many people I love and care about came out to volunteer or attend the event. It felt so great to have the support of so many people, so thanks to my friends and family who helped make this event so great! It truly was a wonderful opportunity.
