Let me start by saying....I'M SO LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH AN AWESOME GIRLFRIEND!!! Jennifer and I dated in HS and made it official again on valentines day last week. Such an awesome date - dinner at McNellies, ice skating and "Valentines Day Movie" followed by me taking her home and popping the question..."will you be my girlfriend..." I mean, what did you think I would say?? Since then we have hung out with each others families...always getting to know someone a little better when you hang out with their family! HAHA!
It's coming down to a few close points in fundraising season! My schedule is getting pretty crazy, too! An order of events:
Saturday - The Salvation Army BGC Dinner and Silent Auction
Next Tuesday - Basketball Coaches' Banquet
Next Thursday - Youth of the Year Banquet
Saturday, March 13th - Bill O'Rilley at the Convention Center for TSA Annual Dinner
Monday, March 15th - My surgery
I've been working pretty hard on a few of these events. This Saturday will mark the first silent auction we have had in YEARS at my place and I'm actually really excited about the possibility and potential of this event. We will be trying to raise $15,000 - $20,000 for scholarships. We offer people a free program fee for many of our programs (after school, daycamp, football, basketball, etc.) and we usually eat these costs. The purpose of this event is to counter act these fees, which is great for everyone!!
We honor coaches every year with a banquet to tell them thank you for all of their hard work. it's an awesome event that really reminds me what we are all about and gives me hope for the upcoming season - what an amazing opportunity for all of us to get together!
Youth of the Year Banquet - Each year, Boys and Girls Clubs across the country pick a Youth of the Year candidate from each of their prospective areas. We will be choosing our YOY in the Tulsa area next week. We use to have a banquet, the last few years we haven't and this year, I committed to take this event on in coordinating it. Did I realize ALL OF THIS would be coming up at the same time...of course not!
Bill O'Rilley will be speaking for the Salvation Army Annual Dinner on March 13th at the Tulsa Convention Center. I believe we will try to raise at least half a million - but am not sure on that amount.
Then...my surgery. Enough said, just read older posts...I just don't feel like typing the story again LOL. Although, I will say I had my pre-op today and it went well! All questions, most payments and instructions - check! It's been a crazy process to learn, but I'm pumped to get it all completed and the surgery OVER!
Today was great at work. It started with a great time of going around town and start getting sponsorships, ticket sales and gifts for the silent auction. Very productive with all information that I needed THEN great news from Josh, our Assistant Director. It's just really been going well at work with great movement and programming!
Also, thanks to Tonya Zun - I've been going over the 31 Day Challenge again. Very awesome! Been exercising regularly and eating a little better, seeing that I won't be able to do any type of exercise for a month or two after the surgery. Excited to have my little sister stay with me after this surgery - so awesome to have a few days with her and lucky to have her help me out!
Wow, a little carried away now that I look at the whole post here. A lot going on I guess, that's why there is a lot to write!
