LAWS Gala

You all know that I am on the Board of LAWS. Last night, my husband and I attended the their Gala. The Gala specifically supports the children's services. What an evening! Great cause, great people, wonderful food and drink.... and dancing. Jim and I danced like maniacs. Very fun! There was also a silent auction, a blind bid auction, and a live auction. Many of my friends donated items and all were handsomely sold. I donated a Virtual / E-Decorating Design, which also sold well. Phew! Some photos for you.

Folks pondering what to bid on.


There were several wonderful trips for the taking ~ African safari, Cabo.....


Hmmmm?? Am I still the highest bidder???

This is the blind bid table... exciting spot to be.

Jewelry table.... I looked there for a long time....

Of course, Washington Redskins donated items for the Gala. They always support LAWS!

We made some purchases ourselves. We bought a lovely dinner for four prepared by a certified chef in our own home. Love that! Jim bought a fancy thermostat ~ which is funny because when we were reviewing items for the auction folks wondered if the thermostat would sell. I chimed in, "Yes because my husband will bid on it." Sure enough, he did. He also won the blind bidding for a round at a swanky private golf course. He said, "you don't want to know how much I bid." No I don't, it made him happy and that's all that matters.

There we are #64....

There's Jim and a buddy enjoying watching the frenzy below... the final bidders as the auction closes.....

Please take my bid!!!

There were many lovely people enjoying themselves AND supporting a great cause and organization....

These lovely ladies are volunteering their time to make sure the Gala runs as smooth as possible! Thank yo very much. You girls did a magnificent job!


I really had a wonderful time. The best part of it ~ a great time was had supporting an important cause and a stellar organization doing all they can to help those in need.

How wonderful!
