A fantastic time was had by all last night at St. Thomas Lutheran Church! The church’s air conditioning system recently went out; requiring a hefty amount of money to repair. Despite the heat – and with the help of a couple of fans – the ladies over at Mujeres Unidas organized a great event to raise money for their beloved church. Everyone pitched in to help – from decorating the tables with colorful silks and fresh fruit to cooking great food (several indian dishes, black beans and rice, and even cactus!) the event was a huge success, enjoyed in great company and joyful spirit.
The room was full!
Over 65 people attended the event! So many bodies in one room sure did make it toasty in there – but this didn’t seem to bother anyone in the least.
The dessert table – filled with fresh fruit, flan, chocolates, and a beautiful three-milk cake made by Gabriella.
Detail of the three-milk cake. So awesome!
Personally, I really enjoyed meeting everyone and witnessing the generosity of those that came out. It’s truly amazing how powerful a supportive community can be.
Thanks to everyone who came out to support St. Thomas Lutheran Church and Mujeres Unidas! $1200 was raised towards a new air conditioning system!
Great Job ladies. What kind of milks are in a three milk cake?
I believe the three milks are sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whipped cream? I’m pretty sure that’s what Gabriella’s lovely daughter was telling me!
