ChocolArt

Friday night, we volunteered at ChocolArt, a local fund-raiser for Early Intervention. This is put on by the Education Services District, and it's an evening of chocolate & art.






Besides eating the chocolate, there is also a silent auction and cooking demonstration. There was a live jazz band & quilts on display as well.

Last year, only Diana & Renee were available to work - and you really DO work! Amanda & Mary had said they really wanted to help the next time, so I signed them all up.

The girls came over after school, got dressed in nicer clothes and ate spaghetti before we headed off. This year they were responsible for the chocolate fountain (first picture), their own tables, and the drink station. No one got any tips this year, but all the leftovers they could eat!! And a nice Thank You card & valentine heart box.

The girls told me and the announcer made sure people knew they were Girl Scouts helping out.

There were people I knew from work, as well as friends there, and we were on our feet from 5:45 to 9:30. By the end of the night, everyone was pretty tired and had sore feet!

However, they are all still excited to do it again next year, and Girl Scouts got some nice PR for the older girls.

Hooray!
