Why does fund raiser have the word "fun" in it??

I'm sure it  must have been some kind of joke propagated by a  twisted word smith with a distorted sense of humor.  For those of you who have planned a fund raiser before, I bow in humble submission.   For those of you who are thinking of organizing a fund raiser, I pity your spouse and close friends.   This is hard!  But I have to say it is extremely gratifying at the same time.  Although I have to remind myself of that fact every morning as I look over my "to do" list with my daily dose of espresso motivation.  But our 1st annual "Guys and Dolls Prom Fashion Show 2008" is almost here and I can't wait!  We've dotted all our i's, crossed our t's and have managed to get a lot of help from a very generous group of people who I will forever be grateful to.  Thanks to Susan Foster of Bridal Couture, the girls at Robert Clark Salon and of course ,"Mothers Against Drunk Driving", for helping me pull this off.  So with just a few short weeks left I've got to get back to my "list" and make sure I haven't forgot something important like......well, you get the point.  As you know, this is for a very worthy cause and I hope to see everone there.  Oh, and bring a friend or two!!
