Tonight our little church had a fund raiser. It consisted mainly of those who paid for a ticket for a dinner. A dessert auction was done afterwards. It was organized by one of the teen daughters whose mother doesn't go to our church. She wanted to do something special to raise money for a surgeon's fee that is not covered by our provincial healthcare. Anyone have any idea about Fibrocystic Breast disease? My part in all this was (are you ready?) running the sound system and video (ha – gotcha! - no news there). But it was nice to pick out stacks of CDs at the library and mix up a bunch of tracks for background “mood” music for the dinner.
A week ago it didn't seem as if there were going to be enough people coming. But today, almost every seat available was taken and I think enough was raised. For me, the best part is always coming away with more food than what I came with (which is usually nothing). Look at the picture below: a casserole dish of macaroni lasagne, a mincemeat pie and a wedge of carrot cake. Yum! Yum!
I also purchased this photograph taken by one our church's teens. It's a trillium; the official flower of the province of Ontario.

I don't know anything about that disease either.

A trillium-- that sounds like the a number that ought to have 50 zero's behind it.
'How much for that spaceship?"
"5 trillium dollars."

Well, I tried to get a little more information other than what was handed out on the night of the dinner. Here are two websites:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000912.htm and
http://www.medicinenet.com/fibrocystic_breast_condition/article.htm
There are three things: this condition (professionals are now reluctant to call this a "disease") is very common among women. It has a wide range of severity. It is believed to be amplified by ovarian hormones since it is extremely rare after menopause.
