The event at Westy's Garden Lanes raised awareness, support, and funds for the Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) program. CCI is the largest non-profit provider of assistance dogs for people with disabilities other than blindness. We had a great time supporting an AMAZING program.

"Barkers Beauties"

 Sunday is a Canine Companion that works in the court system helping little kids when they have to testify. Sunday helped us through our court process and to see the difference she made for my sweet little Madison was amazing. I got a little teary eyed when I saw her again today. She was with my family on one of the hardest days of our lives.

Mrs. Idaho & Mrs. Capital City - Comedy for a Cure

Comedy for a Cure was put together to raise money for the St. Lukes Children's Hospital Child Life Specialist program.  Child Life Specialists do play talk therapy with kids that are battling cancer or other serious diseases and help them cope during their stay at the hospital.  We were able to hear from a family who's 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia and they talked about how much comfort and support the specialist gave to not only their daughter but the whole family.  

The whole idea behind the event is that laughter is the best medicine.  So while we were there raising money for a great cause through a mystery wine sale, a silent auction and live auction, we were treated to a few hours of comedy!  It was a great night, spent with great people and lots of laughter!

Mrs. Capital City and I working the mystery wine sale table.  We had a blast watching people pick out their wine from a table of bottles wrapped in paper bags. They took it so seriously and acted as if there was an actual science behind picking the best bottle!

Mrs. Idaho & Mrs. Capital City - 1st Annual Hemophilia Walk

Mrs. Capital City-Heather Quisel and I got to participate in the 1st Annual Hemophilia Walk on October 20th.  We started with Zumba in the park then did a 1 mile walk. There were groups on the walk that had orange flags that said who they were walking for.  It was really neat to see family and friends rally around a loved one whether they were older or a child.  We had a great time!
