Volunteering at Fur Ball

For the 5th year in a row, I got the opportunity to volunteer at Wayside Waifs annual fundraiser Fur Ball. This year's Fur Ball theme was "The Wizard of Paws"... it was held on May 9, 2015.

The event was held at the Overland Park Convention Center where the ballroom was transformed into a Land of Oz party. More than 1000 attendees spent the evening bidding on auction items, feasting on dinner and satisfying their thirst with an open bar all to help the animals at Wayside Waifs.

This year's Emcee was Gary Lezak, Emmy Award Winning Meteorologist for KSHB 41 News. Long time supporters David and Dalia Morris and Chris and Susan Wally served as Chairpersons for the event.

Volunteers and Staff spent many hours preparing and helping out on event night. Here are some pics of staff and volunteers in action:

I worked the check in station again this year. It's the first point of interaction with the guests who attended. I always enjoy meeting everyone and wishing them a great time at the event.

 

 It was a great time for a great cause! Look forward to next year's Fur Ball! Hope to see you there!
