While I'm not a drinker, I still enjoy a good Happy Hour for a Cause, like they host at Madrone Art Bar. This evening, one of my dear friends invited all her nearest and dearest to raise funds and celebrate her upcoming departure to Masaya, Nicaragua to work with women at Ixchen.
Madrone was a great venue for the fundraiser and the bartenders were so supportive of her cause, throwing in free drinks as well as their own tips to help make the night a success. The unique art on the walls made the establishment interesting and thought-provoking. And, the food provided by my friend and her roommates was outstanding: delicious empanadas, homemade guacamole, and veggie curry puffs as well as chocolate chip oatmeal cookies for dessert.
She raised the last of the funds she needed and leaves at the end of February! I was happy to be able to participate as well as see some familiar faces that have gone onto brighter pastures in the past year.
