September 27, 2013 event for Healthcare for the Homeless.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! 
Thanks to you, we have had one of our most successful Dinner and a Cause gatherings ever for Healthcare for the Homeless.  Our final tally for our fabulous event at the First Lady’s Garden was $11,075, with additional donations still going directly to the Community Foundation.  We were approximately 90 strong in numbers.  To date, Dinner and a Cause has raised nearly $191,225 to help different charities in our community.
We would like to thank our First Lady, Cecile deJongh for offering the First Lady’s Garden as a venue for our event.  It is such a beautiful setting, and she had it appointed so beautifully. We would also like to thank her staff for all their contributions in setting things up and cleaning up afterwards.
 
Chef Nibbs so graciously offered to provide spectacular food and drinks for all of us, and we cannot thank him enough for his contribution…  The food was just delicious!
 
We would also like to thank the Paiewonsky family and the Frederick Lutheran Church for the use of their parking lots.
We all know, in our community, that the needs are great for our less fortunate neighbors and fellow citizens.  With government cut backs and a difficult economy, life can be very hard for these families and individuals that are struggling to get on a stronger footing.  We are only as strong as our weakest link, and our community as a whole needs to feel that they are supported.  This is what Dinner and a Cause is all about.  It is very important to us to support people like Dr. Rosenberg and the other doctors and staff at Healthcare for the Homeless, who selflessly volunteer their time and money to care for the most vulnerable among us.
It is you, each and every one of you, that has made Dinner and a Cause the success that it is and provided the support that we have given to the many charities we have helped over the years.  We are so proud to be organizers of this wonderful organization, and especially thankful and proud of you all for your contributions and support.  Every donation is very important and appreciated.
We would like to extend a special thank you to those of you who have consistently attended and donated over the years—your familiar and smiling faces at our events warms our hearts.  And to those able who have made larger donations, your generous donations are very much appreciated. 
Again, we thank you so much for your support and we hope you will continue to join us and enjoy the camaraderie and the great feeling, knowing you are helping a person or a family in need.
Wishing you all the best until the next time….
 
Most Sincerely,
 
Eula, Pam, Suzanne, Letty, Kristy, Rhea and Joanie
