Vera’s annual Holiday volunteer appreciation night was last Sunday. What a success it was! It was filled with holiday mirth and merriment. The highlight of the evening, however was the unveiling of the “I <3 Nick Turner t-shirts.” For those of you who don’t know Nick Turner, he is our resident fundraising guru, and also co-hosts the KEXP Sonic reducer show. He is so kick-ass that there is some odd obsession with him here at Vera (I have never succumbed to his charms). With Vera trying to raise $200 per member by the end of the year and Nick Turner’s recent quote that, “The worst thing I could imagine would be a shirt with my face on it,” Emily Knies took it upon herself to make up said shirts behind Nick’s back. When Nick finally turned up to a roomful of people with his face on everyone’s chest, his reaction was priceless.
The evening was also filled with armature graham cracker houses, photos in our octopus cut out and even those creepy claymation holiday movies projected onto a wall.
Another Highlight of the evening was the white elephant gift exchange. Memorable gifts included a florescent flamingo light bulb, Spiderman 3 poster, a bowling pin, and cow placenta hair treatment.
The evening turned out to be a jolly good time! Start volunteering and you to can join in on the fun!
