    Hot Dang... Gave my first ever "Toast to the Lasses"

    We had our Scotish fundraising night at a local Irish Pub tonight. Complete with entertainment from the kids and some of the parents.

    I kicked off the event with a "Toast to the Lasses", which was personally, a lot of fun. I wrote it myself from blank paper. It was a hit. !

    About 4 acts into the night, My wife, Kelly, gave a canned "Lasses Response" so all is balanced in the Gaffney house tonight.

    I borrowed my SWK Standard Irish Nat'l Tartan, some hose, flashes and the ever not-too-popular, Home made canteled Shamrock / Fox fur sporran to one of the other parents. For a walking stick...he used a 9 iron. Oh well. It was all very fun.

    My buddy from a neighboring town Kilted up and joined in for the festivities, and one of the students showed up kilted.

    I noticed quite a few teenie boppers fliting around him tonight.
    He became a ladies man in an instant.

    Ahhhhh the power of the Kilt.

    Before Giving the toast I was pounding down Guinnesses for courage, and after the toast was given, I was pounding Guinesses in celebration.int:

    What a great night.

    We packed that little Irish pub wall-to-wall like it was St Patty's day, rather than a regular Monday eveniing.

    Entertainment went on from 6:30 till 9:00.

    not a bad way to start the week.
    Just had to share...

    How did the fundraising part go?
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    I honestly don't know how this particular night went for fundraising, but overall we are way behind. I mean WAY behind.

    Here are a few pics from that night.
