Cinco de Mayo-La Fiesta

The party went really well, a lot better than I was worried it would be. The four Spanish Club members left our classes 10 minutes early to set up, which was just barely enough time to get ready. We sent up a buffet with the plates on one table, the meat (real meat and veggi meat) on another table, and everything else (chips, salsa, lettuce, cheese, sour cream etc.) on the third table. We also had free panera bread cookies. The organization of the food worked well. We were able to control the amount of meat people took which was good because we didn't have that much. We also had plenty of everything. We ended up selling a lot of burritos; about 40 of them. I stood by the door and collected money, my friends helped direct people and serve the food, and our adivior stood out side and told people what was going on. I think next time we should have a sign or something as well.The money making aspect of this went really well, we raised about 80 dollars for an orphan in Hondurus. However, it wasn't as much of a cultural experience. We had people who were going to come and dance zumba and play music, but they didn't come until all the burrito buying people had left, so it was mainly just like a bake sale. Maybe next time we could start music or something earlier. But, yeah, it seemed to go well. We are are planning to do it again soon.
