Howdy all,
I just wanted to give a quick update about the kick ass success of our Skepchicamp FUNdraiser last night. Combined with donations, auction money, and tickets to the event, we raised over $1600 for Skepchicamp! Combine this with other money which was donated earlier, and we determined that our grand total comes out to over $2600
Folks, this far exceeds anything either Queen Elyse or I had ever expected going into this thing just a few months ago in the fall. Skepchicamp has gotten to be such a huge thing already, and we haven’t even held the event yet! I can’t wait to see what happens at the actual event!
Here are Elyse and I crunching the numbers. I think that dude behind us was getting a drink, or hurling…
As if this news isn’t good enough, it gets better: after doing some calculations at the party, and yes these calculations can be trusted since neither Elyse or I were boozing at the time, we figure that we will be able to cover all the expenses of Skepchicamp AND have enough money left over for working towards forming as a non-for-profit group!
Last, but most definitely not least, we all need to give a BIG shout-out to Dr. Jen, who so graciously hosted the Skepchicamp FUNdraiser at her place. She is an amazing hostess, and a blast was had by all… thanks Jen!!!
Cheers,
MattusMaximus

I was getting a drink and definitely not hurling, spilling wine, falling off beds or repeatedly visiting the cat in the closet.
