March 7th Women of Acts Event Recap

Most of you know about Women of Acts, and I wanted to let you know how our most recent event went!

This is what I encountered on my way to set up for the Women of Acts event yesterday morning.

Panic does not begin to describe the way I felt as I took the suggested 20 minute detour to the Inn I was only .2 miles away from when I met the sign. Panic because I had already annoyed everyone with too many e-mails with directions taking them down this exact road. Panic because I knew this detour was nuts and there was a quicker way. Frustrated that I had no idea the road was closed ahead of time.

You’re getting the picture. It was quite a trip.

There were other various and crazy road blocks to the day. Kylee described  it as “quirky” and think that is a most fitting description.

Even with the quirks that were bringing my mood lower and lower, and the stress higher and higher, something amazing happened.

An amazing event

• Photo Booth Entertainment made the night special. I think everyone had their picture made more than once. What girl doesn’t love to dress up and make pictures? David was so much fun to have at our party. I am grateful to call him and his family my friends.
• All of the coupon deal sites that sponsored us! They were so helpful to an event they could not even attend. These are women I have never met but supported us.Please check out their sites which are right on our website. They can give you all the tips, tricks, and deals to spending your money wisely.
• The week of art camp from the Bob Jones Museum and Gallery was so much fun to give away.
• Steve our accountant came and counted the receipts for us. Thank you!
• Molly and Brynn, came and helped us with serving and welcoming girls to our party. I love their servant hearts.

All these things are wonderful and had a huge impact on the evening. The part that brings the most joy and gratitude to my heart are all the women who came. Each one that came through the door added happiness and light to the event. Without each one our party would a dull and boring and quite frankly, not much of a party.

The result of this event blows my mind and some of the girls who couponed to get their food are just amazing!

Jessica Cary won our couponing contest {drum roll please} $124.04 for just $3.69!

Kylee, my partner in crime, brought $300 for $30!

Are you as amazed as I am?

Here is the photographic evidence of what we gathered. I was told that one of these giant boxes holds about 300 canned goods. 33 women filled 4 of them.

Incredible.
