Fundraiser for cousin Kathy

My cousin Kathy needs a heart valve replacement and the surgery is scheduled for April 1. She's been a little short of cash and leave time and so her brother organized a benefit dinner and auction for her this past Saturday.

My goodness, he did such a fabulous job. He prepared a great manicotti and salad dinner on top of organizing a raffle and auction!! When you ask him he says he had a lot of help getting it together, but he was the driving force to get it done.

Ed and Cyndy serving:



They had a big table full of raffle items and sold about $400 worth of raffle tickets alone, plus the proceeds of the auction and the dinner to help defray the medical expenses above what her insurance will pay and to cover the two plus months she'll be off work recovering.

Tim auctioning one of dozens of item, this being his highly sought after pickled asparagus!!



The kids came out to support Kathy, on their 11th wedding anniversary no less!!



And the guest of honor, Kathy!!
