It's Fun to Stay at the YMCA! (And to Help Raise $$$!)

Well – it’s not so much at staying at the YMCA as it is raising money for the sake of the YMCA!
It’s that time of year again when the Richmond District YMCA throws its annual silent auction/fundraiser event!
In case you didn’t know, I was a Richmond YMCA kid!  I spent my summers at YMCA Day Camp at Star of the Sea.   I knocked a front tooth out there while playing a game of cat and mouse (always check to make sure your shoes are tied, kids!)  I made my first homemade pizza there, and it was the YMCA that took me to my first Giants game at Candlestick Park.  I don’t remember the game, but I do remember the Carnation Chocolate Malts they used to sell.  (I guess you can see where my priorities were and frankly, still are.)
And speaking of priorities, this silent auction will feature food, drinks, and lots of goodies for you to bid on!  I’ve gone home in the past with chocolate-covered strawberries, Go-Kart Racing certificates, and a certificate for a Facial from the Blue Turtle Spa.  And that’s just what I could carry out of there in one trip! 😉
