IBSF Auction

Saturday night at the wine club tasting was the annual Ishahayi Beach School Foundation silent auction. It went great and we raised almost $20,000 for the school that will go to help with the daily operations as well as adding structure and learning tools for the current school building. The baskets, especially the gentleman's basket, were a hit and people really opened their hearts and wallets for this awesome cause!!

Each of the board members used the same fabric to each make our own dress. The tailors here are awesome and can copy any dress you have. So it as fun to see how we all coordinated but had our own style for the night.

 On Sunday, we were invited by Ilsa to go out to their beach house, which is actually close by to the school. It was raining on and off most of the day, but we still enjoyed a relaxing day by the water and eating yummy food. We hope to go again when the weather is better!
