I hope you're all enjoying your Thanksgiving feasts and get-togethers with friends and family. We all have much to be thankful for, yet there are many who need our help in this world. Thus, as you head toward the December holidays, I hope you'll review the work of Cabrini Connections and the Tutor/Mentor Connection and consider making a donation to support our continued work in 2009.
One way is to use the PayPal Donation Form on our Cabrini Connections site. Another is to attend the benefit being held on December 12 at Shuba's Tavern in Chicago.
The benefit will take place on Friday, December 12th) from 6-9pm at Schubas Tavern. Four groups will be playing: 2 indie rock bands (www.myspace.com/howlingpoppies, www.trakan.com), a hip-hop group (http://www.myspace.com/blackcollarfam) and one last special guest yet to be announced.
Since the space and some drinks were donated, your $30 donation at the door will get you a complimentary drink, 4 great bands and the chance to connect with tons of interesting folks who are committed to helping at-risk youth succeed! PLEASE BRING FAMILY/FRIENDS AND HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
As we enter the final month of the year, we're finishing a 16th year of Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection. We've never had much cash to work with, and have always had one eye on the rent collector and bank balance, yet we've had help from hundreds of volunteers and an orchestra of donors. What you see on this blog, and our other web sites is the result of continuous effort to innovate new solutions to complex problems. It's all made possible because many people have helped us.
That's my thanks to you on this day. I hope you'll help us keep this going.
I too am taking part in a fundraiser; in Cairns, Australia. For the local Toc H branch, I vol as a research office.
ReplyDeleteMonies will be passed onto two other charities. It is also to network and raise the profile of Toc H, Cairns. We are building a series of
Youth Mentored Gatherings for 2009.
When the blog is up (new yearish) I'll let you know. Be great to have you on the Blogroll, and a Guest Blogger if you are interested.
