This is just a short post to let everybody know that the Hit the Lights Fashion Show on Saturday evening was a complete success! We sold every last ticket, filled up every seat, and even let a few people in for the ticket price who knew they would have nowhere to sit. Here are the (approximate) numbers:
110 tickets sold
35 garments exhibited
25 models exhibiting them
10 designers
18 auction items sold
15 volunteers & coordinators
1 fantastic evening
I’ll post some pictures within the next week. Praise God, and thanks to all of you who came, or helped!
Big congratulations, you sell out.
I can’t wait to see the pics! Speaking of hitting the lights, did this help you all very much in the way of keeping the lights on?

Well, our gross income was about $1500. But we had to spend several hundred dollars to put the thing on, so I imagine our actual proceed would be something between 800 and 1100.If it was just about the fundraising, I’d say it wasn’t worth it. But we got to use the event to introduce the Front Porch to a whole new crowd… mostly of people who wouldn’t have known anything about us otherwise. And we also got to interact heavily with our neighboring downtown businesses for the first time.
