EWI Trivia Night

Posted on April 14, 2010 by Ching under Things to Do.

Brian and I just got home from the Executive Women International (EWI) Wichita Chapter’s trivia night, which is their annual fund raising event at Botanica. The theme this year was the Wild West. I was obviously at a disadvantage, but had loads of fun anyway. (Many thanks to Connie for inviting us!)

Me and Brian

Joni and Travis

We had a great group of people at our table: Travis and Joni Paige, Don and Denise Sherman, Nick Bundy and Bri Tucker. We got two tables this year and the other table with Jim and Carol Ludwig, Karla Olsen, Hank and Connie Velghe (she’s the current president of the EWI Wichita chapter), Steve and Melanie Owens and Carol Ludy (a prospective EWI member) actually won. Hurrah!

I bid on a few silent auction baskets and, at one point, was actually worried that I might win all of them. I was worried because I didn’t have enough money for all of them. I really had money for only one auction basket (and barely at that). I bid on several so I had back ups.

At the end of the evening, I didn’t end up with any of them. We did, however, win two of the table centerpieces. We bought five raffle tickets and two of them turned out to be winners. Who would have thought?

It was very lucky too because the table centerpieces are really neat. Each centerpiece consisted of a bottle of wine and a single-bottle wine rack in the shape of cowboy spurs. Since we won twice, I actually ended up with a matching set. They currently grace our sofa table and look great. Now I want more Western themed stuff. LOL.

Who We Are

Brian and Ching met in 1999 and have been together ever since. Brian was born and raised in Wichita. He moved away to live in Memphis for a few years and then returned. It was after he returned to Wichita that he met Ching. Coming home was probably the best decision he's ever made, besides marrying Ching.

Ching moved to the Wichita area in the mid-90s. She is an avid blogger, picture-taker, and pickleball player. She also loves chess and card games. She is quite prolific and has authored most of the posts on the site.

Brian and Ching are inseparable and enjoy many activities together including traveling, dancing, bowling, chess, and poker. The only activities they don't share are video games (mostly Brian's thing) and Zumba (that's all Ching). They live in Wichita with their two adorable dogs, Molly (RIP) and Saki.

This blog started in 2002 to document their life after marriage and has since evolved into a chronicle of their day to day adventures.
