oohhh "us"..

Our art auction fundraiser went REALLY well. We had an amazing turn out and sold pretty much everything that was donated. Overall, we raiser a lil' over $5000!! My mom left for Haiti two days ago and will be delivering the money and supplies to the families in Port au Prince within the next week! She'll bring back pics and video of the people we are able to help and we'll e-mail them out to everyone who donated so they can see where their money went. Thanks everyone!

Haiti Aid Benefit!!

This Saturday (Jan. 30th) we will be having a

silent art auction to collect money for families

in Port Au Prince, Haiti who have lost their homes

and suffered injuries due to the recent earthquake.

The money will be going to three different families in the

devastated city who are our close family and friends.

With the money and other necessities (rice, beans, dried milk, tents,

medical supplies) we send to them, they will be able to

better care of themselves and their neighbors.

From the telephone conversations we have been able to have

with these families in Haiti, we have learned that small communities

are forming within the collapsed city and neighbors are taking care of

each other. People are uniting and potting their resources together

as one to provide as much as possible (not much) for their neighbors in need.

By sending money and well needed supplies down, we will not only be

providing for these three families, but also for the communities who

have begun to form around them.

All money made from the silent auction will be sent to Haiti

through Mustard Seed Ministries. My mother (Marialyn bazile)

will be flying to Haiti in two weeks and is having 1800lbs (so far)

of food and supplies shipped down behind her. Once the shipment

arrives, she will be able to disperse the goods to the families in need.

Please come out to Old Crown to support and celebrate the

Haitian spirit and experience an eclectic collection of

local art work. Old Crown has a full bar with classic mixed drinks and

a variety of beer and wine. This event will not only be a great

time to have on a Saturday night, but also a HUGE help

to the people of Port Au Prince.
