Inside the House

Heather’s Blog – July 14, 2010

I had a nice change of pace at work on Monday.  I volunteered to help out at the Center’s golf tournament fund raiser.  At noon there was a nice lunch for the players and helpers.  For most of the afternoon I rode around on a golf cart handing out cold beverages to the players.  It was lots of fun—until a thunderstorm rolled in suddenly.  Being out in the open on a golf course is not where you want to be in the middle of a thunderstorm.  I must admit I was scared.  All the golfers and I made a beeline for the clubhouse.  The storm broke and play resumed until a second storm passed through.  In the evening there was a lovely buffet dinner with carved roast beef, a hot seafood pasta dish, a medley of delicious vegetables, and mashed potatoes.  For dessert there was an ice cream sundae bar.  During the dinner there was a live auction and a silent auction.  It was a very successful day and the Center raised much needed funds to do its work in serving Baltimore’s urban poor
