It's been a busy couple of weeks, full of streamers, balloons, and festivities... well sort of. We had our annual Denver Health Foundation gala a little over a week ago, and I've been working over time and then some to make sure it went off without a hitch. I'm breathing again which is a good sign and only worked a couple of hours this past weekend, also a good sign. I had Matt by my side during the whole event, Ginger and Doris volunteered as well and they were all life savers!! Yay to it being over and us raising a lot of money for a great need!
It was a Latin theme this year, and the ballroom looked amazing! The table cloths were multiple colors with different Carmen Miranda (sort of) centerpieces of peppers, fruit, birds of paradise, and palm leaves. We had salsa dancers during the program, Tambarasas - mexican marching band during the silent auction/cocktail hour, a children's mariachi band, carnivale stilt walkers during the silent auction, and a salsa band Que Mando. Lots of entertainment.
The Live auction went well, above are our five items being advertised. Below are two of 10 silent auction categories; Sports & Recreation, and Office, Home & Garden. Ginger Matt and I put together the two pictured display tables.
