Taquitos for a Cause!

Taquitos for a Cause was a HUGE success!

We didn't do a single thing for this fundraiser. We simply drove up to L.A. and ate their food. :)

We had a great time with great people and great food!

Then before we left we opened the box that had been discretely sitting in the corner all afternoon.

It was FULL.

How full?

$871.00 full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have now shortened the total amount on our ChipIn based on this gift! (I also figured in PayPal fees I hadn't calculated before.) We're now only $4,271 away from being done with fundraising! That's 4/5th of the way done!!!

And we're only $271 away from destroying another financial barrier!

And our tummies are full! :)

Thanks so much to everyone who came by to eat wonderful food! And thanks especially to Carmen Rivera for hosting, buying all the food and making all the food! And Amelia Infante for making the rice! And for Ileana who brought us all together!

And thanks to everyone who put up with our "Dora Spanish." ;)

The food (we had seconds).

They made over two hundred taquitos!

And a whole box of conchas!!!

The very fancy donation box!

Doing all the hard work!

Check out my husband getting some baby time. :)

Our daughter thought Ileana's dad was the best. :)

One configuration around the table. More people would come by and we'd switch around!

Laelia's friend, Elliot, and her Mama, Angie!

Such a happy girl! (3 months older than Roland!)

Ileana caught us playing with the box of kid toys. :)

We hadn't opened the box yet. We didn't know what to expect.

I need a little teller's visor or something.

WHOA!!! $871!!!

That was a ton of fun!
