Generous Sponsors

So yesterday, Brenda & I took to the streets of Houston yet again, in search of more items for our silent auction.
We were truly surprised by the whole experience.
Some people were more than willing and happy to donate, while others responded with "the owner is a stingy, stingy man and does not feel the need to donate to you or any other causes."

Luckily, we were met by more big-hearted and charitable people and companies.
One such man was Dave, from the ever-growing My Fit Foods.  We actually only went into his store as an afterthought really.... and only in hope of receiving items for our gift bags.  In the end, he not only donated stuff for our gift bags, but also a hefty gift certificate for our silent auction.  Thank you, Dave!

After visiting several Uptown Park locations, we headed towards the super popular Washington Avenue.  We placed a few more posters, and stopped in at some local stores & boutiques to see what we could find.  At Joy Yoga Center, we met a lovely accupuncturist by the name of Susan who was more than supportive of the Toast and Treasures event we are putting on for the Houston Area Women's Center.  Consequently, she not only offered to place our flyers and posters up, but she also donated an accupuncture session..... so if you're in the mood for some relaxing needle pricking, then remember to bid on this item! 

Hope to see you all on February 25th, at Ruggles Grill for our 1st Annual Toast and Treasures!
