Tonight was the Fresh Market fundraiser to benefit Safe Kids. It's an organization that promotes safety for children...helmets, car seats...that sort of thing for kids that otherwise wouldn't get the equipment. Tickets were $25 and for that guests enjoyed 10 serving stations with hors d'oeuvres and 40 types of wine and champagne. Here's the scoop...all the food and wine are donated...100% clear profit! 100% corporate donation by Fresh Market! My girlfriends that have also done fundraisers are also licking their chops! It was a really nice evening.

There were 225 guests... and they all looked happy. It probably had something to do with all the corks I saw laying around on the tables! The food was lovely...and we kept bringing out trays of at least 5, 000,000 hors d' oeuvres.

I started at 3:30...and popped out the center piece for the table when they walked in. Used a basket as the container. You know the kind...it has space for two wine bottles in the front and an area about 4x10 in the back. Put a loaf of french bread on the left and a bottle of Rodney Strong cab on the right. Picture greens...ferns,bear grass,ect, curly willow...about 3 ft tall coming out of the back
two types of moss, red roses, lg yellow fuji mums, white bells, and green grapes tumbling down between the wine and bread .

They were happy!
