OUR AREA POURS OUT 'HEARTS FOR HAITI' THIS FRIDAY!
Dear Friend,
Doug McCrea of McCrea Cellars, Margaret and Stefan Elie, of Elie Jewelry, Merle Hom of Bella Housa, Giorda Elie of Giorda E., Kristi Duke and Lela Cross of Eclectic Toss and Kellie Petersen of Gordon’s Garden Center would like to invite you to join us for an evening of great joy as we raise funds to help with relief efforts in Haiti.
Auction Soiree
When: Friday, February 5, 2010
Time: 6:30 to 8:30 pm
Where: Bella Housa Village Clubhouse
14950 – 91St. Ave SE in Yelm
(Between Mountain View and Burnett Rd SE)
Admission: $25 per person (we’ll trade you for a chance to win a door prize from Gordon’s Garden Center!)
Enjoy amazing wine from McCrea Cellars and delectable delights from Eclectic Toss as you bid on our marvelous silent auction items and raise your paddle during our live auction called by the Schorno auction team, Cindy Schorno and world champion auctioneer Daniel Schorno.
(We also have some other fun ways you can give to the cause!)
We have selected Doctors without Borders as our recipient organization. Charlie Kunzer, of Doctors without Borders reports, “The extent of immediate needs from the devastation in Haiti is still coming into focus, and the picture is bleak. There is a huge need for essential surgical care for the quake victims: open fractures, deep wounds, crush injuries, amputations. DWB and other groups are rushing to scale up capacity to bring as much assistance as needed.”
Please say you will come! You can R.S.V.P. to heartsforhaiti2010@gmail.com
If you cannot attend, but would still like to contribute, you can send a check payable to:
Doctors w/o Borders: Emergency Relief Fund
c/o Kellie Petersen
Gordon’s Garden Center
PO Box 447
Yelm, WA. 98597
Thank you for being the generous, caring individual we have always known you to be!
Sincerely,
Doug McCrea, McCrea Cellars Margaret & Stefan, Elie Jewelry
Kristi Duke & Lela Cross, Eclectic Toss Giorda Elie, Giorda E.
Kellie Petersen, Gordon’s Garden Center Merle Hom, Bella Housa
WON'T YOU SEND ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN, EVEN IF YOU CAN'T ATTEND?
I hope the funds go to some reputable agency like Doctors without Borders, or the Israeli groups that was set up within 48 hours of the disaste. (The Bush/Clinton Haiti Funds, like their Katrina fund, should be avoided, given their Katrina history.)
The sponsors "selected Doctors without Borders as our recipient
organization" as noted in the entry above.
