Button Blanket is still up for bid!!!!! The desserts sold (and were donated to the hard-working Obamacans...happy eating!!!)

$400 is the top bid--post other bids in the comments!!!

***UPDATE***

The button blanket was made by Writing Raven's mom, a Tlingit of the Dog Salmon clan. (I hope I said that right...correct me if I'm wrong Raven!)

Pictures from the "Team Blue Oasis" Fundraiser...we made a profit thanks to all who continue to support us!

A very special thanks to my friends Rishi and Tesva for being there when we needed them most and my sisterfriend Rebecca for working so hard and sharing her decorative talents, and Steve (What Do I Know) for jumping in to help...thanks for putting up with the Diva and Divo!!! (not to mention the little Diva-in-training!!!)...





...to the wonderful Mat Su Democrats including candidate Erick Cordero for showing up (most of) the Anchorage-ites by coming out in the rain...






...a "we are not worthy" **bow** for all the hard work by the incredibly warm and generous Mungers and the use of their beautiful home...



...to Donovan for committing to come before he realized it was in Wasilla, then coming anyway...



...for Diane and Tony for booking out of Anchorage right after the debate and for Diane and Raven who gave us the rare and beautiful gift of spontaneously sharing their Tlingit culture with us through song.



Thank you to everyone for your help as we continue to work towards our goal!

The bustle before the Barbecue

Josh is having some trouble getting those plates for auction full! My cousin and her brood came over on their way back to Iowa and ripped through a batch...they are so good!

Well the chicken is marinating in teriyaki sauce, the beans are waiting to be baked in the morning, the fixins are fixed and Raven's whole family is in town just pumping out yummy desserts and putting the finishing touches on the button blanket.

Now all we need is YOU!

Plates of homemade chocolate chip cookies for auction and some melon for consumption!

Hope to see everyone tomorrow. We're starting at four but, due to the debate, the wonderful Mungers have said they plan to go late. Soooo...c'mon down ya'll! Just click on the flyer above for the directions. Or, for a more portable page, the Democratic Party website has it up!
