January 2007 EDF fundraising

Our fund raiser for AAUW Education Fund was lots of fun.

First we tasted the goodies :-)


Then we looked at the offer... do we like the items? Are they interesting? Who will start?




Then we decided on our interests and started to offer ...



We looked at the other ones also....




And we thought... counted in our head... looked and counted again ...




OK, it is worth it! Decision made and action taken....



And in the end we posed also, just for the history book .... OK, the blog up here :-)




The most important: We fed the future generation of AAUW members! :-)
