"It's kind of fun to do the impossible."
---Walt Disney
Tonight I helped out at the Kids Enjoy Exercise Now (KEEN) annual dinner and auction. What the founders of this group seem to have done is create an amazingly successful organization that serves so many kids with varying disabilities. KEEN provides these kids with a way to enjoy fitness and to build friendships. I have great admiration for the group and for everyone who works there.
The event was in a big ballroom at a Marriott Conference Center. Tons of well-dressed people and some really cool auction items, especially those relating to sports, home, hobbies, and travel. I didn't win anything but enjoyed just browsing.
My official role, together with another MoverMom Suja Ali, was to help carry items from the auction tables to the table where everything was being tallied and put away. It was not hard but rather fun to do it together, to see people coming together for such a good cause, and to observe the whole scene. Somehow I just have never acquired the right wardrobe for this kind of event, especially now that Suja pointed out to me several women with different fishnet stockings (she said those are now in style). Maybe I should buy a pair??
