We were invited to a charity gala/auction event last night for Lifespring Ministries. It is a charity that our church has been supporting for the past several years. They help women and their children get back on their feet after various unfortunate life events. The women are counseled, loved, taught about Christ, taught life skills, job skills, etc. The charity runs mostly on donations.
The evening consisted of a dinner, a basket raffle, a silent auction and a live auction. We went with 4 other couples. We really had a lot of fun. One of the couples bought a honeymoon vacation trip for their son who is getting married next June. That was exciting. Three of the couples (including us) won a gift basket. Oh, and the best part was a game called Heads or Tails. You had to buy a strand of beads for $20 in order to participate. Everyone stood up and either put their hands on their head or on their bottom (heads or tails). The MC tossed a coin and if it was heads and your hands were on your head, you advanced. Tails, you sat down. It only takes about 3-4 minutes to play the whole game even with a room full of people. Our friend won the entire pot which was over $1,000.00.
