overview

Every holiday season, we would have a big party, but finally realized that having just the one big party a year didn't really give us a chance to hang with our friends and family. So we kicked off 2008 with a series of Benefit Parties. We thought this would be a great way for us to visit with our family and friends, and also serve others. 

We learned a lot about organizing benefit parties.

Our original goal was to have benefit party every couple months. However, as our benefits have evolved, we have learned that we can increase our fundraising by selling homemade goodies, and the generosity, interest and support from our family and friends meant that each event really lasted a couple months from invitation to party to post-event enthusiasm.

We want to thank everyone who has purchased our homemade goodies, and thank those of you who made direct financial donations without receiving anything in return.

Whether you have participated in one or all of our benefit parties, we thank you.
