Ecuadorian Dinner and Silent Auction

Hello all,

 I am going to be hosting an Ecuadorian dinner and silent auction at the River Arts Center in Morrisville on August 16th! This is an amazing opportunity for me to make the final fundraising push to pay for the rest of my tuition, airfare, required costs and equipment. I am thoroughly excited to cook lots of Ecuadorian food and make more connections in my community with local businesses, artists and farmers and I hope you all are too!

 The menu for the dinner will be much like that of the lunch I hosted at school, empanadas, salad with cilantro-lime dressing, lentil stew, yellow rice, a chicken dish and coconut flan etc, and will be prepared in the restaurant-certified kitchen at River Arts Center in Morrisville by myself, friends and whoever else is willing to help. River Arts is renting me the whole building for the day of the 16th and the kitchen for the two days before to do prep cooking.

 If you have any suggestions for who I should contact for help with cooking, silent auction donations, or food donations, or if you would like to help, please let me know. This event has an enormous amount of potential, let's make it great!

Working Hard

Since school got out, I have been blessed with lots of generous neighbors with chores to do. I made over $1,000 in the three weeks after school got out thanks to the generosity of my many employers. From gardening, to wood stacking, to dog washing, to house cleaning, I have been able to help many of my friends and neighbors with the chores they haven't had the time to get around to.

As the summer continues, I look forward to more work and fundraising. I will be hosting an Ecuadorian Dinner on August 16th at the River Art's center in Morrisville which I am very excited about. The event is a fabulous fundraising opportunity that will help with the final push to finish paying for tuition, airfare, required expenses and equipment!
