Kim Rocks her Aberdeen Towers Fundrasing!!


 


 On Saturday May 14 Kim hosted her third annual Dessert/Coffee fundraiser. We made the amazing treats ( nothing low- fat there ) and this year went with the times and used our Keurigs to do the tea and coffee. Worked out very well. Kim had received about $500 in donations before the day arrived so we weren't sure if we would have a good turn-out, but it was amazing! For 2 hours the room was full of chatter and people getting sugar highs! At the end of the event Kim had raised $875  for Team Crazy Legs!! We were a little overcome by the  generous amounts that people gave. It seems everyone knows one or two people with MS, way too common a disease these days.

But even better than the dollar amt ( well, almost) …we had forgotten that the NB Premier David Alward recently moved in to the condo unit. He and his wife came to the event as “regular” people just out on their way to the Market on a Saturday morning. He stayed for about 2 hours chatting to people about anything , and more importantly listened to what we had to say about MS funding etc and the struggle with this disease. A very unexpected opportunity to spread the word about MS. Thank you Kim and all the great folks at Aberdeen Towers!

PS Kim and I did not coordinate our outfits...must be a sister thing...
