YW Fund Raiser

This spring, I was asked to be the Young Women's Camp Specialist at church. I help the girl's ages 12 - 18 prepare for Girl's Camp, I attend camp with them and help out at camp and I help the girls raise funds to go to the camp. For the fund raiser this year we decided to have a dinner and auction. Each of the 9 girls contributed 3 things to be auctioned. They each auctioned a service such as babysitting, piano lessons, housecleaning, dog walking, etc. They each also contributed a dessert to be auctioned as well as an item that they created. I was so impressed with the things the girls made. We had a craft day a few weeks before to help them work on their items.

Here is some of the desserts and the gift certificates for the service items.

This is most of the handmade items. There were artful photos, embroidered wall quotes, a knitted scarf, an incredible painting with a bonnet that went with it, coasters and more. I made a tutu and hair garland to contribute to the auction as well.

Here is the rest of the desserts

For the dinner we had Hawaiian Haystacks and the girls each had a table that they waited on.

I decorated the room with a Hawaiian theme and everything turned out great. Everyone had a really good time and we raised an incredible amount of money!!
