Last evening we attended a fundraiser that is near and dear to our hearts.
Each year at Christmas time, Mr. Mickey becomes Mr. Santa for about fifty underprivileged children in our area. In November, a group of our friends gathers for a wine and cheese fundraiser for the project.
Each child is given a winter coat, shoes, an outfit for school, and a toy. The family or guardians are invited to a pizza party just before Christmas. Santa visits with the children and gives them their gifts at the party.
I always enjoy catching up with my sweet friends Una and Lee.
My friend Dianna is a follower and big fan of Fifty, not Frumpy. (She is wearing a Chico's sweater and necklace.) Thank you, Dianna, for your kind words.
The evening was a huge success, and it was great fun visiting with everyone. To top off the evening, we saw a big black bear as soon as we entered our neighborhood tonight. It was so beautiful! Hopefully, it will safely find its way back to the mountain where it belongs soon.
What a great event to hold for the underprivileged children in your area. You show us how to put smart outfits together - which is very helpful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful person you are ( and a shout out to Mr. Mickey)!
Good Morning, Susan!
ReplyDeleteY'all look so festive! I think you have officially put me in the Christmas Spirit. ( I try not to let that happen until AFTER Thanksgiving)
God Bless you all for your giving and loving hearts.

Mr Mickey makes a dandy St Nck! You will be blessed for helping to brighten these children's lives. You look marvelous in your red outfit.
ReplyDeleteBless you both for giving cheer to those children in need.
ReplyDeleteMy husband put on his Santa suit on Christmas Eve for years and went to homes just for the sheer pleasure of it. We often got cheers from people as we traveled in our yellow bug VW.Those were happy years for us and I know you will feel the same
What a nice thing to do.
ReplyDeleteYou are so pretty, Susan! I'm admiring your clutch purse, today. Was it you who wrote about how chic they can make an outfit look? Might have been someone over at "YouLookFab".
I'll have to think about adding a clutch to my very small purse collection. I'm so practical, I prefer something with a strap but I love this look.
Anyway - I'm enjoying your blog!

I could not agree more with the comments about your putting us into the holiday spirit. Wonderful job. Is your friend Diane wearing a Chico's sweater?
ReplyDeleteyes, my sweater is from Chico's and necklace too
