Dancing with Our Stars!

Saturday night Chris and I got to go to a wonderful fundraiser for Hospitality House of Tulsa. Hospitality House is an organization that opens their doors to families in need of a place to live while their loved ones are in the hospital. They provide an apartment, food, laundry services and most of all loving support and people to pray for them and with them.

This years fundraiser was called Dancing with Our Stars. They recruited local celebrities(local news reports, pageant winners, meteorologist, etc). Each celebrity worked with a dance instructor and performed their dance live that evening. Votes were based by judges, we could vote as the audience by donating money for a couple, and then off course text voting was part of it as the celebrities videoed their dance a week in advanced and it was posted so others could vote.

They also had other fun ways of raising money. They had both a silent and live auction. I got some nice wall art in the silent auction. They had some of the professional dance teachers going around and if they asked you to dance you could accept for a 25.00 donation or if you declined you had to pay a 50.00 donation.

It was a great night, lots of fun. We got to dress up go out and enjoy a evening with great friends and help a great cause.

I had one of our friends snap a quick photo of Chris and I outside on the patio.
