Marble Falls Highschool Project Graduation: Valentine's Day Benefit

Since Hannah is graduating this year, I am on the Project Graduation committee (I actually agreed to be secretary, don't gasp those of you that know me!) and we have been diligently working all year to earn money to give our incredible grads a FANTASTICO drug and alcohol free graduation party!  It's going to be at Incredible Pizza in San Antonio and we're so excited!!!  It's gonna be a BLAST!

One of the MANY things we have been working on is our Valentine's Day Benefit.  The venue, Cadillac Bar at Dos Conchos Ranch, graciously donated by Eddie and Dale Shell, was the perfect spot.  All the BBQ and fixin's, deliciously donated by Peete's Mesquite BBQ, filled our bellies.  Cakes donated by Walmart in Marble Falls were the perfect finish!  During dinner, Larry Page from KBEY Radio, 103.9, DJ'd for us and did a great job :)

You'd think that after all that amazing food, we wouldn't be able to dance, but you'd be dead wrong!  Once Corporal punishment and The Charly Sardo Band started playing, the place began shakin'!  Line dancing, swingin', you name it... the crowd had a blast!  Especially the CUTEST couple I've ever seen, and had the joy of meeting at HCF the next day when he was baptized at almost 80yrs old!

There were loads of other special activities available as well.  Personalized Valentine's could be purchased and read aloud from the stage, roses and carnations were available to purchase for that special someone and you could even purchase a ticket to win a 10pt marquise diamond, incredibly donated by American Gold & Silver (who will also be helping us with another endeavor soon!).  One unanimous donor gave a check for $500!  A rough estimate of earnings?  $4,000!!!!!!!  What a blessing!!!

Despite the bitter cold, tons of fabulous people came out to support our local school.  To all of you that came, to all of you that donated your time, to ALL of you that donated your time (GO MFHS Seniors and parents!), your services, anything and EVERYTHING... WE LOVE YOU!  Thanks from all of us at Project Graduation!
