A Night of Fashion, Music & Hope

Seer Outfitters & Black Label Booking present

A Night of Fashion, Music &; Hope with BARCELONA

January 29th at the Double Door
Doors open at 6:30pm / Starts at 7:00pm

Barcelona's harmonious, piano-based rock exemplifies what music should be. Their thoughtful lyrics, unique stylings, song craft and live performance has brought them the attention of everyone from major labels to major motion pictures to thousands and thousands of fans across the country. They've agreed to lend their art and platform to us for the evening to support Seer Outfitters & Black Label Booking's efforts, raising awareness for a few local charities - Breakthrough Urban Ministries, Brown Elementary School and Life After Hate. Kyle Korver (Chicago Bulls #26) will also be on hand with his brother, Klayton Korver, to discuss the efforts of Seer Outfitters & the Kyle Korver Foundation and how they support a number of charities through Seer (a high-end t-shirt company that gives away 100% of its profit to charitable initiatives).

Supporting Barcelona will be two great emerging local bands:
- The Canes
- March of Morn

General Admission: $20

Some of the night's proceeds will go to benefit Breakthrough.

Email - Volunteer Updates - January 2012

Greetings, lovely Breakthrough Volunteers!
If one of your new year's resolutions was to volunteer more, you're in luck! We have our monthly volunteer ops listed below - two ops for this month alone! And keep in mind that these ops will almost always fall on the 2nd Thursday and 3rd Friday of each month - so you should be able to plan ahead if you need to. YAY for volunteers!

JANUARY MEAL OPPORTUNITIES  
Here are the details for the meal serving ops this month:

• Thursday, January 12th - Men's Facility 
• We're back to our old shenanigans again this month. The menu hasn't been solidified yet, but we're excited to enjoy the meal with the guys again.
  
• Friday, January 20th - Women's Facility (AKA Joshua Center)
• Again - no idea on menu yet, but we've been thinking soup lately, so ummm... maybe soup will be on the menu? We need people willing to lead a craft, lead worship (guitars or keyboard - bring your own) and helpers in the kitchen.
  

As always, just let me know if you can make it to one or both of the serving ops so I can reserve a spot for you. And if you have any friends that are interested in Breakthrough or maybe they're just interested in kitchens, bring them too! The more, the merrier.

BIG SERVE SUCCESS! THANK YOU!
Both Big Serves were a smashing success! A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out or participated in any way. We seriously couldn't have done any of it without you! Thanks for all the effort and support to help make the guests at Breakthrough feel extra special and loved this Christmas season. You're the best!  :)

OUR WONDERFUL BLOG

Lastly, don't forget to stay updated on our blog: http://wcbreakthrough.blogspot.com/. This blog is an excellent reference for all the monthly email updates, as well as containing other volunteer opportunities as they become available. And this month it even has a couple of great pictures from the Men's Big Serve - even a super cute one of Don in his chef jacket. Awwwww - what's not to love?  ;)

Pictures from the Men's Big Serve - 12/20/11

One of our fabulous volunteers send over these pics from the Men's Big Serve this past month. (Thanks, Mark!)

We were able to get most of the volunteers into this picture, but still missing a few...
