After rolling out of bed yesterday with my belly still full of turkey and pie, I got dressed and took the girls with me to the American International Women's Club of Genoa's annual Christmas Bazaar. Though the girls had to skip school, I thought it would be a good experience for them to help raise money for a good cause. Sarah pitched in and helped sell books at one table and Anna worked the crowd trying to sell assorted items and eventually helped sell at the handicrafts table. Most helpful of all, they spent my money at various tables! Their favorite one was the Bottle Table, a lottery where you buy a ticket and get a number then find the prize that has your number. The girls won 2 bottles of cleaning product, shampoo, soda, then finally, 2 bottles of wine and one of Whiskey! Sarah and Anna even brought their own money and bought themselves some lovely things. Anna even found a kilt to wear for Christmas for only 2 euros! Sarah bought an edition of Emily Post's Etiquette published in 1956! Go take a look over at the event at my home page.

Hopefully by next week the final accounting will be done and we will know how much we money raised for charity. By the way....FAWCO, the Federation of American Women's Clubs Overseas in being nominated this year for a Nobel Prize! This is in recognition for the charity work they do all over the world and money raised and donated to numerable good causes. If you feel the need to be giving this holiday season here is the link to the FAWCO site.
Ciao for Now!
