surprise at fundraising dinner – haliburton
We had a delightful night tonight in Haliburton at the Youth Unlimited Haliburton Highlands first annual Fundraising Dinner. It was a good first for Haliburton: 66 people came and gave, we don’t have a total yet, but we collected a lot of envelopes!
There were two highlights of the night:
1. Jamie and Dana didn’t show! That is because Dana gave birth to their second child yesterday, Benjamin James McMahon was born at 2:00 PM Thursday. Congrats Guys!! We did patch Jamie into the program anyway via cell phone, it worked well! He got a big cheer for being in the right place at the right time and of course Dana got a big cheer for all the hard work!
2. There was a girl at the dinner, who was also one of the youth interviewed in on the video shown tonight. She was so excited to be at the dinner! She sat through the program and afterward, Pastor Brian Plouffe noticed that she was looking fixed on something. He asked her what she thought of the dinner and she replied, “I had no idea that so many adults cared so much for all us youth. I had no idea that God works/is the way he is (as described in our presentation).” Brian talked to her about God and followed up on my story about Carol and her experience with God and the girl gave her life to Christ, right at the dinner!
What an unbelievable night!! I am savoring this moment and the precious time that Brian Plouffe – Former board member of KYFC, had with this girl. What a surprise to add to the success of our ultimate goal of reaching youth for Christ.
