A Good Cause

Today, the Young Woman held a fundraiser to raise money for Girls Camp.  We split up into groups of 2-5 and set out to do service and a number of homes in our branch.  The jobs ranged from dusting, gardening, sweeping, washing windows, mowing lawns...basically anything that was asked of us.  It was another hot hot day so I was glad to be done by mid-afternoon.

The two girls in my group and I cleaned, and detailed our van, washed windows and mowed lawns, weeded a garden, and cleaned out a camper trailer that is being sold.  They worked hard and earned some money towards their camp.  It was a great effort.

And tonight, we all went to the church for a branch BBQ.  About 10 sisters (including myself) brought pies to be auctioned off to finish the fundraiser.  It was a ton of fun.  Our auctioneer was great, and again, people were so generous and we raised all the money we'll need.  Excellent!  I made a Chocolate Chip Cookie pie, because it was quick and easy after a day of cleaning, and it looked delicious.

We bought a Lemon Meringue pie at Lucy's request.

The boys finished the evening by playing football in the field by the church, and playing helicopter. 

 We have a great branch!
