October 2012 Men's Serve Cancelled

Greetings, Lovely Breakthrough blog readers -
Just a quick note to let everyone know we won't be able to lead the men's serve for Thursday, October 11th. However, we should be back in fine style for the November meal - Thursday, November 8th. (Pending the newest Baby Bratchie's arrival, of course). I'll remind everyone in the October monthly email, but wanted to send a quick note to the loyal blog readers first.

Love and Hugs!

Email - Volunteer Updates - September 2012

Greetings, Wonderful Breakthrough Volunteers!
Happy Labor Day weekend, everyone! I hope you get some time to relax and enjoy time with family and friends.  Here are the updates for this month - take a minute or two to review the upcoming meal-serving opportunities, as well as information for the DREAM BIG capital campaign and the upcoming annual benefit dinner. I hope to see you soon!
SEPTEMBER MEAL OPPORTUNITIES  Here are the details for the meal serving ops this month:
  • Thursday, September 13th - Men's Facility
  • Friday, September 21st - Women's Facility (AKA Joshua Center)
As always, just let me know if you can make it to serve a meal so I can reserve a spot for you. And if you have any friends that are interested in Breakthrough, bring them too! The more, the merrier.

DREAM BIG - CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Breakthrough has been working on a campaign to make a huge difference in the lives of people living in Garfield Park by building the FamilyPlex - providing safe places to work out, go to community classes and even receive quality, affordable medical care by partnering with Lawndale Christian Health Center. For more information on the campaign, including status updates, and to see how you can get involved, click here.

ANNUAL BENEFIT DINNER
Friday, October 19th is the officially official date for this year's Annual Benefit Dinner. Mark your calendars and save the date! The theme for this year's benefit dinner is "building on a solid foundation" and will feature Freedom Writer, Manuel Scott, and the Executive Director of Breakthrough, Arloa Sutter. Don & I will be there and would love to see you! For more information on this year's benefit dinner and to register, click here.
Love and Hugs -
