Last night was the Euchre tournament and it was a smashing success! I was astounded by people's generosity all around. Sarah, another nurse going on the trip, and Matt's friend Bev and her niece Kim, who did the baking for the sale just floored us with the calibre and quantity of totally amazing treats that went beyond mere baking. We're talking ART! Brownie coffins with chocolate skeletons, minion marshmallow pops, turkey oreos, cream cheese brownies, cream cheese filled banana bread, mustard pickles, home made salsa, pumpkin pie! The mouth-watering list goes on and on!

| This was the FIRST car-load of stuff!! |
We started with a very set list of prices, but that soon went out the window as the hoards descended and it was a whole lot of eye balling and setting a price that looked fair. No one complained.
 |
| The cupcakes were added with the second car-load of goodies. The first few customers trickling in! |
The euchre started a bit late because people were so enthusiastic about the baked sale, but that was okay! Everybody had a great time anyway. The prizes were enthusiastically won and everybody had a good time, so it was such a success!

| The cards are being played! |
 |
| And for those who don't play euchre: Scrabble! |
 |
| Linda, myself, and Donna, 3 members of the team to Guyana! |
The final total made was just shy of $1500, which was the best I was hoping for, so I am so pleased! I am only a couple hundred from my goal of raising 3 grand, which I set thinking it was a very ambitious goal. Awesome!!
Thanks everybody who came and who helped, for supporting the CNS team to Guyana!
