Womenade potluck

I hosted the South County Womenade potluck last night. Thirty women arrived armed with casseroles and $35 checks. We listened to the president and founder of the organization tell us about the many needs we filled just since the beginning of the year. I had asked that attendees bring toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss for foster children in our county that the Family Care Network counsels. We like to have a hands on activity for everyone to jump in on as a way for people to start chatting and getting to know one another. One of the women brought about 40 zippered make-up containers - you know the ones you get as a free gift when you buy make-up. We packaged the toothcare items in them and in clear gift bags wrapped with ribbon. We must have had close to 70 packages. The food was awesome! See blog at http://womenade.blogspot.com
