Thanks to everyone that helped with the LG 5k Community Challenge. It was a great success. Rachel sent me this great picture of her and her friend Rick after the race. You wouldn't even know they'd been running.

An Exciting Invitation
Leadership Gainesville 34 is cordially invited to attend the Junior League of Gainesville's Tour of Kitchens 2008 this Saturday.
This is your opportunity to tour 9 of Gainesville's finest kitchens and sample gastronomic delights from Gainesville's best eateries, including chefs from Dragonfly, MT's Chop House, Manuel's Vintage Room, Mario's Bistro, Sweet Dreams Ice Cream, The Flour Pot Bakery, Dorn's Liqour and Wine, Italian Quarter Bistro, Ti Amo, Mildreds, Gator's Dockside, Publix Catering, Peterbrook Chocolatier, D'lites, Sweetwater Coffee and more. Each kitchen will also feature information about the League's local projects to benefit the children of Alachua County, including my committee, the Holiday Toy Giveaway.
For more information about the tour or to order tickets, visit our tour website at http://tourofkitchens.com/ or the Junior League of Gainesville website at http://www.gainesvillejrleague.org/gainesville/index.jsp. Tickets are $20 if purchased before the event, $25 the day of. Tickets are also available at Crevasse's Regency Florist, Cherry Lane Furnishings at Town of Tioga, Gainesville Health and Fitness Center for Women, and Donna Mann State Farm Insurance office.
I'd also like to share a funny personal story about last year's tour. I was working at one of the houses, so I asked Tim ( my husband) and my dad if they would like to use my tickets and go on the tour. They said yes, mainly to be supportive of me, as they assumed that it would be all about fancy kitchens and design stuff that is more my style than theirs. Well, they were pleasantly surprised to say the least. By the time they got to the house where I was working, they were already planning their "Round II". They loved the food at each house and were planning on going by each house again in the afternoon because many houses have one demonstrator in the morning and another in the afternoon. Tim said that I should really emphasize to the men in LG that the tour is a great way to get brownie points with your significant other, and load up on great food. Both Dad and Tim are disappointed that they will be missing Tour this year due to the birth of our baby, however, I will be sending my inlaws in their place.

Law Enforcement Shadows
Thanks to Rachel McGriff for sending me this photo. As she put it:
Here is a shot of Tony, Jill and I with our officers Friday night, keeping Gainesville safe.
You have to eat, right?
