The Recap
Many many many thank yous to everyone who helped make the December 12th fundraiser at Lucy's an ENORMOUS success: Team Meghan raised $1800!
For those who were unable to attend, here is what you missed ...
Lucy's, a surfer themed restaurant/bar in mid-town Manhattan, kindly arranged for the event to take over their main room. About 35 people attended and participated in five exhilarating rounds of trivia. How much do you know about geography? Famous Frank's? Sports? Music? Everything? Well, a team of four Cornellians knows a lot about these things and snagged the $100 Ticketmaster gift certificates. In the name of fun, even Meghan called in to answer a few questions. FUN!
In addition to the food at Lucy's, the amazing vegan restaurant Terri donated delicious eats including the highly raved about "meatball" sub. Mmmmm ...
Also, the evening's auction featured some generously donated items including Jazz tickets at Lincoln Center, sports memorabilia, and hockey tickets.
And of course, an extra thank you to Tara Hatami and Mike Paleos for organizing the event.
There will be more fundraisers in the not too distant future.
Please check back with us soon!
