Exceeded.

Again this year I participated in the Knit 4 Food A Thon, raising funds for four organizations that fight food insecurity.  Because there was a community garage/tag/yard sale that day, I decided to sell some of my stash of yarns and other crafting supplies and donate the funds to the cause.

Overall goal was to raise more than last year - mission accomplished!

On Friday evening, of course, I watched the Artemis II splashdown.  It was a nice break from setup for the sale on Saturday.  For my part of the sale, I raised about $100, plus the sale of a crafting workbench.  I shared the funds with others on my team, donating a portion of the proceeds to anybody who had not met their goal.

Today I saw "Churchill", a one-man show and fascinating two hours.  I definitely recommend it.  In a brief post-show chat, the performer/writer mentioned a related show, "Churchill & Roosevelt: The Christmas That Saved The World!" will be in performance in Phoenix next year.  I looked up the theater he mentioned, and the run will overlap our Spring Training trip!
