Our sweet Cozy Cottage is finally getting her big girl AC! She deserves central AC after all these years of window air and I can’t wait to give it a test run for our guests this afternoon! A big thanks to our friends at Fosters Kraus Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning for getting us in quickly and always working around our guests’ schedules easily!

Today I am thankful to be able to donate both my time and a night at each of my cottages to today’s event that this great organization puts on annually. As a former teacher, offering scholarships and access to education post-high school is something that is so close to my heart. Whether it be college, a trade, cosmetology school, etc that a student needs monetary assistance for, this committee that I am now a part of supports, so today’s major fundraiser is so integral to being able to offer as much as they possibly can. When you support my cottages, know that you are supporting not only my family, but the young scholars in this community. 🏫 ❤️💵🏆 🏐 🕶️ ☀️

Today’s the day!! This event couldn’t be possible without our amazing broker sponsors!! Thank you to all who have sponsored or donated!!

As a reminder registration check-in starts at 10:30 am and the events kick off at 11:00 am!!

See you soon!! 🕶️🏐🪢🏅☀️🤩
