The Link Event – Aug 20th – Price Reduced

Our friends over at The Link had to reduce the price of the charity boat cruise this Thursday. The original price was $75, but is now $50.

Richard Moody has worked with The Link for many years and has had many friends contribute through the charity Christmas party.  The toys help the homeless and troubled teens know people in the community care.

The $50 price includes a boat cruise on the Paradise Lady with a seated dinner.  A great Jazz combo will provide music.  It’s the perfect way to enjoy an evening on the boat while helping a great cause.

We all know that times are tought, but small non-profit organizations like The Link are more at risk in dropping the service they provide to the community.

Please consider the opportunity to help this wonderful organization.

December 14th – Charity Christmas Party

It’s back for it 19th year.  Last year it happened on the first big snowstorm of the year.  The turn out was amazing.  Thank goodness because the need to get toys for Tots & Teens is growing with this troubled economy.

The View team always has amazing buffet of food and great drink specials.  Great reward for all the giving that happens.

We look forward to another year of helping the children of Domestic Abuse Project, Sabathani Community Center, and The Link.  We appreciate the support from all our friends old and new.  Hope to see you there.

There is no cost to attend.  Guests will be invited to make a contribution or a payment on a previous pledge.  Bring a friend, or two!
