Charades Fundraiser

Frederick, MD - Trying to figure out what the answer is in charades is fun, and about 40 participants Saturday combined that fun with fundraising for Gale Recovery.  The event was the first of its kind for the organization. Gale Recovery offers two homes — Olson House for men, and Gale House for women — to help those who have conquered addiction but need help getting back in to the mainstream. The event, held at All Saints Episcopal Church, drew eight teams of five people each, at $100 per team. Each team had 10 minutes to see how many words or phrases their teammates could figure out. The first place team had seven subjects guessed in the 10-minute challenge.  One of the team members said he had never done charades before. "You had three categories — movies, books or songs. It was a lot of fun."  www.fundraising-ideas.org
