Well school board fundraiser was a huge success.
Room was pretty full, at least one even cried privately having a chance to give and be in a room of only likeminded folks. We have raised enough to surpass 15% of the campaign’s entire total for this election cycle - from one event.
My boys were golf cart chauffeurs which gave a touch of bougie high class, plus I made them wear nice polos and I trained them on how to make folks feel VIP. Kids knocked it out of the park. Open (full) bar with speciality margaritas and old fashions were a hit. Food was pretty darn good. music was a nice touch, pool deck doors opened as the evening cooled off.
I got to give a quick little speech, made some folks laugh and in the end the friend that was down and out who didn’t believe we normies live out here felt empowered and invigorated.
the formula is tried and true - we build community, appreciate the beauty in our lives and take that recharge and do something to move the needle. We may not win the war but we will know we did our part to fight back.
my conscious is clear this cycle.
God I hope they win.
