Bingo was a success!!

Body Shop Bingo was a success!

We had about 45 people there, raised over $200 for the Milagro House and got a ton of "stuff" donations as well!
How cool is that?! I'm glad it was so successful. I was concerned that we would lose money on it, and would have been excited to just break even, but to actually make some cash for them is awesome! And you should see the "stuff" donations we got for them: shampoo, razors, maxi pads, body wash, tissues, all the stuff that you use on a daily basis and don't give much thought to... unless you don't have the money for it.

Everyone had a great time!

One my favorite things that we did, (besides giving away stuff) was being able to re-use the packing material that the Body Shop uses in it's shippments. The Body Shop has recently switched from using those air filled bubbles to using brown paper as packing material in it's shippments. We took the brown paper, flattened it out and used it as the table covers. We put packs of crayons at each table and our guests got to write on the tables. So not only did we get to reuse something but we got our creative juices flowing too :-)

So far, I've gotten nothing but positive feedback on Bingo, so it looks like there'll be another one in the spring!
