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.
