“BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!!!”
This is what people were saying after the first fundraiser event held by the 2011 ELP class. The Mini Golf + Happy Hour took place at Adventure Landing in North Dallas on Thursday May 12, 2011. It was a beautiful day to get together with my fellow Emerging Leaders, past and present, along with many friends, co workers, and our many sponsors.
After enjoying the great food and drinks, I met up with my friends from Smith Seckman Reid (one of our sponsors) for 18 holes of miniature golf. I’ve worked with these guys for the past two years but it was really nice to hang out with them outside of work. Afterwards, I found out that I need to work on my putting game more often.
At 8:30 that evening it was time for the main event, the raffle drawing. There were many great prizes including Texas Ranger’s tickets, Roughrider’s tickets, a Kindle and many others, but everyone had their eye on the grand prize, the ipad 2. The lucky people who got to take these prizes home were not the only winners; the biggest winner on the night was the Mercy Street Field of Dreams Project. All the proceeds from the Mini Golf + Happy Hour went to this great charity. This wasn’t my night to get a prize but I was really happy that this event was a tremendous success.
I was proud of all the hard work that our class had done, especially the Fundraising Committee. The only thing that would have made this night better was if I would have taken the ipad home with me. Oh well, maybe next time.
