BOO BASH 2008

It is over ... such a high during the week to make it to the event and now it is over. I survived my first social event with the MDA, YAY! It was so much fun. This is Sarah Palin and a Black Cat, ie Holly & I.

Jon, Jeff, Amber, Brandi and Adam all came. You guys, it means so much to me that you came out to support me at the party. I know it is nice to be able to eat, drink and listen to pretty good music, too! THANK YOU!!!!

The Boo Bash is in its infancy so this wasn't a blowout bash but it was a success. Everyone who came had a good time and the Gut Grab SOLD OUT, the silent auction made decent money and the live auction was AMAZING, we had a wonderful group of people at the event. The money they raised is going to help research, local kids in West Texas and help find a cure for muscular dystropy.

The event was truly wonderful- we had ladies from the Midland district intown to help, as well as, our regional staff. Holly and I were able to enjoy the evening as hosts because these ladies held down the registration table, gut grab and silent auction details.

This is the GUT GRAB & Marcie :)

We recognized the 10 people at the event for their roles in charitable activities, for being industry leaders etc. We auctioned off research minutes- I can't tell you how awesome it was to have people "buy" 5 minutes of research.

The KLIFSNOTES played and they are a pretty awesome band. The lead singer is pregnant- way pregnant and she was belting it out! Then we ended the silent auction and had a live auction of a Troy Aikman football, trip to Vegas to stay at The Venetian and Lasik surgery. It was awesome to see people getting exited about these items and bidding.

Jeff was the BEST player at the Gut Grab, he donated a MINUTE of research to us last night!!
and Amber helped him out, too.

Jon was my convict "Doc" last night, it was wonderful to have him there to experience the event and for me. It was so nice to know he was there :)

Brandi and Adam came too as the Milkman and well you'll see :)

Soemeone actually thought Brandi was pregnant with twins.. hahaha! As you can see it was a basketball!!
