Back and Discreet, Questioning as We Eat… How Much Cash Will They Raise This Year to be Curious about Less Fortunate Kids?

It’s my second year that I’m gonna try and go attend this fundraiser luncheon. Here’s an abbreviated version of my blog on the experience last year - CLICK HERE - it has the link to get back to my website at the end of the blog (and the full-length write-up)… but this event was weird, to say the least. I was so confused about what the real goal was for how this money is being spent. There was so much focus on, to say it bluntly, the bodies of underprivileged kids. ANd very little explanation of what was actually being taught/learned. Last year, they set the goal to raise 200k for (what sounded like) a traveling museum show for underserved kid and youth. However, in that lunch, they raised over 500k. I’m just like, what??? So… I’m gonna go again this year. I don’t think they’d want me there, since I’m so critical of this event, but I’m there with good intentions as far as humanity is concerned. I didn’t preregister, but let’s see if I can get myself into this event, have some amazing lunch, and take notes on whatever the heck is said this time. Last time, the former mayor was talking about sleeping positions and bragging about lying to the audience. So, really no clue what to expect. My bar is low.

Why Attend: Duh!! I’m on a mission for a children’s educational cultural revolution over here. And this is a huge fundraising event to educate children… and last year it was so confusing!! I felt like there wasn’t anything of substance or innovation presented to this “curious” crowd. They just kept saying that this is a “curious” crowd and all this random stuff. So, I wanna attend again and see if it runs parallel to last year, or if that was just a fluke.
