This week was our annual Steak & Steak Dinner and Silent Auction, and what a night it was! All of our best donors and our best Club members came together for a "magical evening", as Dr. Perry described it. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves, and the Development Team deemed the night as a huge success. Another huge thank-you to Citi for hosting the wonderful event. We coulnd't have done it without you! Here are some pictures from the evening.

Thanks again to all of the amazing donors! Because of you, these children have a safe place to go after school and can continue to be the best person they can be.

Great futures CONTINUE to start here.

First and foremost, I'd like to start today's blog entry off with saying that all of our thoughts are with the vistims and anyone who has been affected by Hurricane Sandy up in New Jersey, New York, and all of the surrounding areas. When tragedy strikes it is so disheartening to see the damage, but also so uplifting to see everyone come together as one and help each other out. We wish everyone in the North a speedy recovery, and we will continue to think of them during this difficult time.

On a lighter note, another week has gone by here at the main office of the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Florida. With the holidays fast approaching, the development team and I have been busy at work scrambling to get all of the upcoming events organized. First up is our Steak & Steak Dinner and Silent Auction. We are so excited to have our best donors and best Boys & Girls Club members come together for a wonderful dinner. This event takes place on Tuesday, November 13 (less than two weeks away!) Make sure you have reserved your seat for this exciting event.

I hope you're all taking advantage of this beautiful Fall weather we have been lucky enough to receive! Have a wonderful weekend, and don't forget to BE GREAT!
