A benefit dinner for teens


Saturday, May 3.  Hey everyone!  How are you?  I hope well.  I am doing great.  Today was nice day in Ann Arbor.  Started out a little cool but by midday it was quite nice out.  I gave six hours of lessons, and they all went great.  I got some nice communications from a woman who may rent my house for $2,100 a month.  Maybe.  At least I know that the price I'm setting is not too high and at that rent, my house would pay for itself and I would be building equity.

In the evening, I had my new experience for a day.  Paula and I went to fundraising/benefit dinner for teens.  It was actually before a concert called Breaking Curfew that showcases kids who have any type of artistic talent.  I've been to one and it's really kind of cool.  Two of her sons have participated in the concert before.  Tonight was also a chance for Paula to try out her pie business idea to the public.  In addition to donating to the cause, we also donated some Pumpkin's Pieces, small bite sized pieces of lemon meringue, chocolate cream, and banana cream pie.  She was very nervous about it, but everyone loved it!

She even managed to get two people who were interested in having her make more for functions in the near future.  So a business is born!  One of the women is the director for the Detroit Marathon, and will be hosting a fundraising VIP dinner in July and she wants Paula's pies to be part of the menu!  Very exciting!  And I'm happy for her success.  As for me, I was happy to play a small part in helping out the arts with young people.  Feels good!

We'll talk again tomorrow, I'm sleepy and have to teach tomorrow morning.  So good night, good morning, good day to all.  I will visit again tomorrow!  Take it easy all.
