rumors of good things coming
as the first official post, i'd like to begin with great news...
its looking like the first dessert house is going to happen this month!
we are discussing several options for location...thats really the biggest obstacle at this point. if you have ideas for where we could do this...pass them on! at this point we are planning on goin for the last thursday of february if we can find a sweet spot to hold it at. remember, this kinda thing not only brings about true community but also is free advertising for the local businesses if they lend their resources to us for a night.
some other things we're needing...
decor to enhance the atmosphere (ie: fabric, candles, tables/chairs possibly)
any donated desserts we can get
local artists and musicians
the proceeds from this night of amazingness will go toward International Justice Mission this month. next month we are considering several other great orgs and efforts that are doing serious work to eliminate poverty and injustice here and abroad.
