I had a great time volunteering as a server of the wonderful appetizers donated by various caterers at the annual Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts.
It was a beautiful evening, the large crowd of people all appeared happy and the event was successful once again in raising much needed funds with the assistance of the Raffan brothers as auctioneers.
I was running a bit late before arriving and realized that I had brought a large purse with me.
I knew wisely, not to leave it in my car and instead put my purse near our work station.
Foolishly, I took the cash I had in my wallet and placed it in shallow pockets in my clothing. At the end of the evening I realized that the money had all fallen out and was gone.
The old adage of haste makes waste came to mind but when I was downtown a couple of days later, I decided to drop into the art gallery and just ask about it but not expecting anything.
Upon arriving home, there was a call saying that someone had turned the cash in and it was all intact.
Once again, I know why I love living in Vernon. There are so many good, decent people here. I really was not expecting to get my money back.
I want to sincerely thank whomever turned my money in. I hope everyone had a great time and I will be back again next year to volunteer.
