Charity Begins Close to Home
Filed Under Freebies
My sister, the Rebate Queen, and I (the Discount Princess) worked at the welcome table at a great charity event last night at the fabulous Westin Diplomat hotel, just next door on the Intracoastal Waterway (yes, life in Florida is so tough in February, nothing for young people to do at all).
Thursday night is the big night at the waterfront restaurant/bar, so instead of the 400 people we expected, the crowd was about 950! It was a beautiful evening, and once the bulk of the people had checked in, we volunteers were invited to stay, eat and drink and mingle with the people who made sizable donations to be there.

One of my favorite parts of charity events is the Silent Auctions. Usually, we find that they’re stocked with great products and services that you can guy for a fraction of the real prices, and make a donation to the sponsoring charity too. Over the years, we’ve gotten art work, spa services, gifty items, fine wines, jewelry, tickets to events, tickets to travel and more and more and more.
We spoke to a guy who is living in a very cool loft building in Ft. Lauderdale. Turns out he’s living practically for free as the building management wanted to put in attractive, successful business people to lure more tenants. Gotta love it.
If you need a new place to live, it pays to see a lot, make friends with the management and ask for the best deal they can give you. If you want to make new friends, have fun, get stuff and make a difference, try volunteering.
Most cities have a volunteer-central type organization. Just search for Volunteering and your county, and you should be on your way.
More on volunteering later, (especially those silent auctions!) but for now I’ll just say that it’s a great way to have fun, meet new people and make a difference (the most valuable thing there is), with no out-of-pocket expense.
