Spa x90

A Mother's Day Spa Fundraiser for the East Side Boys and Girls Club.

90 ladies all enjoying facials, massages, makeup, manis and pedis.  Entertainment and Lunch. That's how I spent my Saturday, and what a wonderful, but tiring way to spend it.  We spent months and months planning and preparing, thinking and worrying, and yesterday it all came to fruition, and then a few hours later, we were merely vacuuming up the last remnants of the event.

I have lots of thoughts and impressions from the day.  But after all was said and done, the thing I was most impressed with and grateful for is the amazing group of people who make up our New Life Church team.  At 4pm on Friday, a host of us descended on the East Side Boys and Girls Club and set out to transform the gymnasium, a computer lab, a library and dance room and game room into a beautiful "Garden of Dreams" Men hauled and unloaded truckloads of gear and garden decor, a team of men and women set to work in the kitchen, and ladies put their decorating talents to work in all the different rooms. And Wow! The results were beyond expectation.

And Saturday, we were assured of the good results by all the oohs and ahhs of the guests as they arrived.  Everyone laughed, relaxed, and was pampered by a host of professional estheticians.  And our missions was accomplished--ladies were blessed, and we are able to give the Boys and Girls club a nice donation check. A win for everyone!
