HALLOWEEN BUNCO FUNDRAISER
Saturday night, October 29th was our QOH Halloween Bunco fundraiser – what a great night!
No one knew who I was until I spoke or until they looked into my eyes. It was cool being Uncle Sam but he can keep that white hair. I think I’m still pulling hair out of my teeth. Mom Belmont was a Rocker and of course everyone got a laugh out of that one. Miss Bert was a fancy lady with a bust as big as mountains; Linda was a biker babe; Willene was a pirate; and Debbie stepped out in her PJs – we had a little of everything. We laughed, ate, drank and raised money to continue our mission.
The best part of the evening was awarding a Purple Heart recipient from the Vietnam era, his long overdue quilt. I have known this man for over a decade and never knew until last month that he had received a purple heart. It still is not something he will talk about. I will only say that he is a very giving veteran and volunteers countless hours to different organizations. I was honored to award him a Quilt of Honor that Carl had made.
And we can’t forget about the great deserts that Nancy made – German Chocolate Cake and Carrot Cake – everyone couldn’t wait to get to their deserts!
To all of you who continue to support our mission – Thank you. We couldn’t do it without you.
God Bless,
Gail
