This will be my first show at my house. I've invited 60 people from work. Then, it turns out that one of the guys I invited, who happens to live in my neighborhood, his wife died very unexpectedly. So now I've turned the party into a fundraiser for him and his two little girls. Since I made the announcement that it is a fundraiser, I have had 5 people say they will come and 5 outside orders and 1 show booked. My show is Sunday. I'm very excited. My MIL is buying the Executive Cookware set for her sister, who is getting married, so I know I have at least $345 for my show!
I can't wait to see how much we can raise for our co-worker!
