This entry is going to consist of a whole lot of fantastic pictures of the Here and There benefit we had in San Antonio. So, if you missed out, you will get a good visual of how things went!
We had a great time out there and want to give a special thanks to all of those that helped to make this happen.
Not only did we have a beautiful venue, but great food, and an amazing band who came all the way from Waco to play for us.
The band included Ben Dudley, Griffin Kelp, Kelsey Taylor, and Jillian Edwards. If you want to hear what we got to listen to, check out Jillian's myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/jillianedwardsmusic

There were a lot of people that came out who I did not recognize at all. The guys that put on the event really went above and beyond to get people there who had no connection to Karama House. I feel like we were very successful in spreading awareness to all that attended.
Once everyone got their food, a representative from the local battered women's shelter spoke. Then, it was time for Jenny and to put our stage fright to the test! We talked about Karama House for what seemed like an hour but I think it only took about 15 minutes. It ended up not being as bad as I thought. The crowd was great and it felt like they really connected with what we were saying.
After that, we had a silent auction for a few things that were donated from the WNBA and NFL players.
Overall, the night was a success and I think everyone involved did a fantastic job!
We also ended up selling quite a few t-shirts and gave out a lot of stickers and brochures.
So, thanks again to everyone that helped make this happen, and to all of those that came!!!
Here are some more fun photos!!
*Special thanks to Laurel Linton for the photos!
