This past weekend we attended Canisius High School's 40th GAMBIT fundraising event and dinner. It was a blast! We hosted a Musialowski table this year - Chet & Pam joined us for the first time, as well as our friends Dave & Abby. Christopher's parents also sat at the table and we were even joined by a priest friend - Fr. Tom Colgan from Canisius College. We all got dressed up for the event. Everyone looked so handsome and beautiful.
We "won" several prizes this year. Christopher won me this fabulous black leather Kate Spade bag. I won an autographed Newt Gingrich book and a cute Dooney & Burke Wristlet. I totally made out this year and actually feel a little selfish because the autograph Christopher wanted we did not win. I should have been more aggressive about it. Lessoned learned for sure!
Chet & Pam won passes to the US Open, which they are so excited to gift to Pam's parents for their 60th wedding anniversary! How sweet.
Dave & Abby won an annual pass to the Greycliff Conservancy and 8 weeks worth of dance lessons, which will come in handy for their wedding next year!
I am not sure what mom and dad won - I will have to find out from them.
Dinner this year was fabulous! In the past couple of years dinner has been so-so. They served this nice colorful spring salad, dinner was a duet plate with baked chicken and a perfectly cooked steak. Even the green vegetables were tasty. But dessert was the best - they served a salted caramel mousse inside this cute white chocolate cup with a crispy caramel disc on top. MMMM I wish I could have bought a second one.
All in all it was a great time! Already looking forward to our next black tie event - Canisius College's Regents Ball. Rumor on the street is...the Buffalo Bills are going to donation two passes to the Super Bowl :)
