Well, here is the sweet skinny on the event...if you missed it, you may just want to kick yourself...it was a complete and total BLAST! Swishes of pink, tiaras and stilettos everywhere, people laughing, dancing and eating delectable treats, a general sense of well being and unbridled joy...plus the sun was shining with a light breeze wafting through my garden and trees...absolute perfection!
1. To date we have raised a little bit over $13,000.00. Our goal was $13-$15,000.00 so we have met our beginning goal and are still hoping to hit at least our mid-level range...checks and online donations are still being accepted! (See #6) The total for the combined three years of bake sales is now over $30,000.00...amazing what a community can do together...OOH LA LA again!
2. That money ($6,500.00 each to the Westside Food Bank and St. Joseph Center's Food Pantry program) translates into 26,000 meals at WFB and 1,300 bags of groceries at SJC...literally feeding thousands of women and children in need...makes me weep with joy...
3. The Mr. Sugar & Stilettos 2013 Crowning Ceremony was hysterical...Richard Lewis, Steven Weber and Paul DiMeo outdid themselves...and Bob Picardo added a bit of fun with his fabulous humor and outstanding plaid jacket...video will be up very soon so keep checking the website - www.sugarandstilettos.com -
4. Photos from the event will be up on our FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc. accounts as soon as we can get them edited and up for your viewing pleasure...
