Last night’s fundraiser for the outdoor education program GirlVentures coincided perfectly with the second day of Lent. After not even making it to the seven-minute express Ash Wednesday service downtown, I was looking for a recipient for my Potty Mouth Fund (in which I contribute $1 for every swear word spoken). The auction to raise money to empower adolescent girls was a perfect reminder of the Women’s Building-based organization’s fantastic work leading rock climbing courses and summer outdoor adventure programs.
As of the third of 40 days my sailor tendencies have raised $9 for them. Darn.
