Young Women and Young Men Fundraiser

We hold an annual fundraiser every year for the Youth in our ward to help raise funds to pay for camp. We had a breakfast, car wash, and auction on Saturday, June 11. Luckily the weather was perfect....and alot of people showed up too. We were able to raise about $2000.00.

The young women prepared an item for the auction. We all learned to crochet a square. The squares were then all put into a blanket of values for the auction...we were able to make 2 of them. In the end, Matt and my 1st counselor, Leslie were bidding against each other for the first one and we ended up at $51.00 for each blanket. (never give the husband your check book).




Matt was agreat sport and helped with the food for the breakfast.


This is one of the orange square that I crochetted for Young Women Value blanket!
Took me quite awhile to learn how to crochet, but after I learned it was fun.

The $51.00 blanket...It will be great to remember what I learned in Young Women's year from now.
