Email - Volunteer Update - October 2010

Greetings, beautiful Breakthrough volunteers!

Here are the updates for October 2010.  Enjoy!

Annual Benefit Dinner

The Annual Benefit Dinner is a huge event for Breakthrough and their big fundraising event of the year. Don and I are hosting a table at this year's Annual Benefit Dinner again so if you haven't yet been able to make it to one of Breakthrough's Annual Benefit Dinners, now is definitely the time! 

Mark your calendars for Friday, October 22, 2010 and plan to join us to hear stories of how God is moving in, at and through those at Breakthrough Urban Ministries. This year's benefit is at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare (9300 Bryn Mawr Ave Rosemont, IL 60018)

Follow this link for more detailed information: http://www.breakthrough.org/general/43/annual-benefit-2010. To register, just follow the prompts - under "Event Information" select "Bratschie, Amanda" as a table host if you'd like to sit at our table. 

Meal Details
And now - without further adieu...
The following meal dates are for October:

• Thursday, October 14th - Men's Facility
  
• Friday, October 15th - Women's Facility (AKA Joshua Center)

Notice that this month's serving dates are during the same week - that doesn't happen every month... it's our happy fun-time special timing month - we usually serve the 2nd Thursdays and 3rd Fridays.  Since it's such a special month - you should definitely sign up...  ;)
Let me know if you'd like to sign up for either or both of these happy fun-time special meal times and I'll make sure to reserve a spot (or two) for you.  If this is your first time, we usually meet between 6:30-7 PM to set-up and prep food, serve the meals around 8 PM and make plates for ourselves - and then take off after dinner, usually by 9 PM.  You'll get a more detailed email with the address and exact times the week of our serving date if you sign up - so be sure to let me know if you're interested.  Also - if you'd like to help contribute to the cost of groceries (NOT required), the suggested donation is $10 - payable to the chef for the week.
