When I found out that Scooby needed a new van just months before my trip there, I knew I did not want to got there empty handed.  So Tim and I thought that we would hold a themed fundraiser in hopes of raising money for the van.  Which they still need, so if you can, please visit the Scooby website and make a donation.

Our idea was to have a Spanish themed open house.  We called it the Galgo Open House.  We sent out invitations to our friends and family inviting them to join us for traditional tapas and Spanish wine.  In return, we ask that they made a donation to Scooby. 

Our menu included various tapas dishes that were really easy to make and various wines from Spain, including a big bowl of Sangria.

The Menu

• Spiced Meatballs with Romesco Sauce (recipe)
• Garlic Shrimp*
• Almonds with Sea Salt*
• Goat Cheese stuffed Olives
• Spiced Pork Kabobs*
• Three authentic Spanish cheeses

Drinks

• A big punch bowl of Sangria*
• Various red and white wines from Spain

*Recipes from Book of Spanish Cooking by Hilarie Walden

We had a fantastic turnout with approximately 25 people and the total donations was $1720.00 and every dollar went to Scooby...including 27 coats and many collars and leashes.  We were overwhelmed by the generosity. 

This fundraiser was easy to plan and it was wonderful seeing all of our family and friends supporting something we are so passionate about.  We hope to make it an annual event. Thank you to all who donated.
