September
was just awesome with our fund raiser taking
place on the 9th and what a fund
raiser it was. We had a great time, terrific
entertainment, all donated by Breakdown doing
their tribute to Tom Petty, and Larry Edwards
and The Country Tradition. Non stop music thanks
to the great organization job of
Joyce Guyett
who is
the drummer for True Grit and a real estate
agent for Cactus Country Property Professionals.
. The Moose Lodge was outstanding in getting the
food out and the donating the facility. 2-10
Home Warranty donated the side dishes along with
Cactus Country Property Professionals and
Sun
State
title donated all the steaks for the event,
allowing us to give every penny back to the
kids.
Organizations and individuals bought
extra tickets for employees, friends and just
because. The help that we received from everyone
was overwhelming. Kara, whom I had never met,
called me after she had heard about the cause
through the band and offered her service for
photography. Guess what the only area that I
didn’t have covered was-you got it. I am waiting
for her photos – apparently she took over 400
pictures and busy editing them to share. I will
send them out when we get them. All of these
people make the Love House Kids Program what it
is- a whole bunch of love for kids that don’t
know us but need us.
Many of our people got to
meet
Cheri
Bjournsrud
from Southwest
Leadership Foundation. She is the vice president
for the foundation and one of the foundations
that we have thrown much of our support behind.
This lady is so spiritually driven for the cause
and to serve these kids that on your down day,
Cheri
is going to ignite your desire to do more. I
feel just blessed to have been introduced to
her.
Thanks
to all of these people that gave unconditionally
and went a zillion miles out of their way to be
part of this event- we were able to net $13,200
dollars for the kids. Once again I feel the need
to thank Manish owner of Gatesix.com
for DONATING this site and made it possible
for people to donate and pay for silent auction
prizes on line. He tore down the barriers
and made it possible to get money for our kids.
We are investigating some special projects
to help our kids and when we decide on which
ones we can afford, we will keep you in the loop
as to where your money and your efforts are
being channeled. Remember, it is all going to
the kids. We take nothing for salaries or admin
fees.
