Thank you to WGN radio's Kathy O'Malley and Judy Markey for hosting TLC's first FUNdraiser on Sunday, October 21st.About 115 people attended the event at Boulder Ridge Country Club in Lake in the Hills, and got to visit with the "Girlfriends" before, during and after a live auction that Kathy & Judy conducted for TLC.
Items ranging from an antique quilt to Oprah tickets caught the attendees' attention, and led to some fierce bidding competition!! By the end of the event, about $10,000 was raised through auction items and raffle ticket sales. The funds will make a big difference in TLC's ability to continue our record-setting land conservation work into 2008 and beyond!
Special thanks needs to go to board member Lorna Gladstone for bringing the "Girlfriends" to McHenry County, and for arranging for all of the amazing silent and live auction items. Another big thank you goes to Cheryl Perrone and Jody Powers for making everything run so well - they had things well organized before we even arrived to set up.
And a huge THANKS to Kathy & Judy!! They definitely put the "FUN" into fundraising!
