Okay, I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous now that there is LESS THAN 2 WEEKS until this golf tournament! I guess it could be worse, I could be pregnant and nervous like last year...this is me finding the silver lining! It seems since February all we have been doing with any free time is golf tournament stuff. A lot has happened though and even with the economy the way it is, I think we are all happy with the direction the sponsorships are going! To me, last year's event was such a blowout. I mean, did any of us expect for it to gross over $15k? I surely didn't. When Marcey and I talked about doing it she was thinking it would be good for about 5k. So needless to say we were all completely shocked when the final numbers were tallied! This year Lisa, Andar, Marianne, Larry and I discussed where we thought it might end up at and it made sense to me to keep expectations low again for the simple fact that our economy isn't the greatest. So with that said, I for one am happy that there is as much support as it has gotten!
Another thing I am excited about is that Lisa, Andar and Marianne are really motivated and excited about the cause! They all have so many great ideas and want to do more than just the one event so as to extend the support to other children. Lisa is such a "take the reigns and get things done" kind of gal and likewise with Marianne. Andar doesn't have a choice but to be that way because Lisa keeps the fire lit under him! Before her current employer, Marianne worked for non-profits for like 7 or 8 or more years. So she really has a good mind for what goes on and what has to happen.
Even though it's a lot of work as a "volunteer", it's really rewarding for me and I guess it makes me feel like I am working again even though it doesn't require me to leave my house much! I am finding that my brain still works and it hasn't turned to kid mush!
