Our hats are off to Kathie and Gary Williams, the hosts of a 10 Course Chinese Dinner that raised $5,000 for the Y of Central New Mexico. Kathie, a fabulous gourmet cook, sold raffle tickets to several of her friends with the grand prize being her 10 Course Chinese Dinner. $5,000 was raised and Bill Johnson of the Y Corporate Board, was the winner. Turns out the date he picked was his Wedding Anniversary. He and wife Gloria were able to choose 10 friends to enjoy kathie's Chinese Dinner. No dishes to clean, no food to buy.. what an anniversary present!
Lauren Schneider and Kimberly Babb, Y Volunteers, served as waiters. Complete in Chinese attire, they were the crowd pleasers. Thanks to everyone who helped make this evening possible. It was a great fun-raising event that creatively addressed the Y's Mission of social responsibility.
The Y is dedicated to providing scholarship for kids and families who need assistance. Kathie's fun-raiser will provide much needed support for families who need help with childcare, youth sports, or youth membership. If you would like to help with the Y with this cause, contact Stephanie Browne at SBrowne@ymcacnm.org
