fundraising frenzy (the day before)

I have two back-to-back events this Saturday and today is CRAZY. First up tomorrow is our fundraising coffee (8am-10:30am) for the Committee to Support Sunnyvale Schools / Yes on Measure B – http://supportsunnyvaleschools.org/ if you are interested in learning more about it (or attending!). Just a few things to do today, thankfully:

• Pick up coffee beans at Red Rock (Friendo Blendo – the best!)
• Purchase several gallons of milk
• Figure out what to serve pastry or coffee cake-wise – bake or buy
• Gather nametags, sign-up sheets and other informational materials
• Last minute clean up of house!!!

Following the AM coffee, I am teaching a baby food making class to 8 women. I offered this class for auction at the Heritage Home Gala, “Sipping for Diamonds”, last year and now it’s time to dust off my baby food making skills (it’s been at least 10 years) and prep for the event. My current ‘to do’ list includes:

• Get cellophane bags at Michael’s to wrap goodie bags (copy of my book + Boudreaux’s butt paste)
• Defrost homemade chicken stock
• Buy and peel sweet potatoes, carrots, etc. for demo
• Gather olive oil, pepper grinder and Cuisinart to take with me
• Create cute baby food labels for participants
• Print out copies of baby food making instructions
• Purchase lunch stuff at Trader Joe’s for Dane and Tate (as they will be making the own hot lunches tomorrow)
• Write reminder note about bringing camera bag (!)
• Etc (don’t know what this means right now…)

Here’s hoping I pull it all together in the next 8-9 hours… wish me luck!
