"Oh What a Night.........."

On Oct 15th 110 women gathered together to help raise funds for an amazing cause. All of the money raised was donated to The Girls Night In fundraiser, which raises money for women's cancer research and support.

So how was the money raised?

We had over 36 items that were part of the Loud Auctions, over 50 Raffle items, a Mystery Box Raffle with over $200 worth of value and Silent Auctions.

So how much did we raise for such a worthwhile cause?

$7274

It was an amazing effort and way above our expectations and we are so grateful to everyone who attended on the night and contributed in so many ways.

What else happened during the night?

Our Craft for the evening was for everyone to make a bookmark to take home and use. There was lots of intense work going on through the evening and new friends made for those who find craft out of their realm!

There was lots of dancing!

and most importantly lots of great girlfriend moments!

 

Thank you to everyone who attended the night, donated gifts or money, helped with the setup, packup, assisted in the kitchen, collected donations, came up with the ideas for the evening and general support and encouragement for the event.

Keep checking in on the blog for further updates and see you in 2011!

Tracy, Dale, Tracey and Tiani.

Blossom Circle Blog Name

In a recent planning meeting for the 2010 GNI event we decided to set up a blog so we can showcase this year's event to you and let you see photo's of past year's events. One of the hardest things was to come up with a name for the blog that would have link it to the event. In my research I discovered this description about blossoms.

In China the cherry blossom symbolizes feminine beauty, the feminine principle, or love in the language of flowers. Cherry Blossom is an omen of good fortune and is also an emblem of love, affection and represents spring.

So that is how Blossom Circle came about and how fortunate are we that the blossoms are out so I can take some beautiful photos to post.
