This evening we went to the Knights of Columbus building and participated in a fund-raising trivia contest for the Arthritis Foundation. Our team consisted of...
Josh Barnett - Dena's Kiwanis pal, who invited us
Jenny Barnett - Josh's wife
Miles - Josh's friend of 8 years
Christa Sheppard - Kiwanis
There were six rounds of 9 questions apiece. For example, one round featured American history and asked to name the president involved in the crisis "13 Days in October."
There were several opportunities to win additional points by making extra donations. In the end I believe that we were in the top three in terms of number of questions correctly answered, even though we were squeezed out by those who made more donations.
Having volunteered in leadership roles for years, I deeply appreciated the work that the two young emcees had trying to control and yell over a raucous and alcohol-fueled crowd (my first time hearing the phrase "you bastard!" playfully hollered between tables at a fund-raiser). I'll bet they sleep like babies. And we had a great time getting to know our teammates better.
