This is my last post for today. i'm heading out ... but Jimmy and the Fair Havens staff and volunteers are here for the entire day. PLEASE come out and show your support.
Just had a visit from KMID-TV, Big 2 ... so look for Jimmy on their news broadcast this evening.
The group Seperate Peace is here, setting-up ... so look forward to enjoying some music - along with some lemonade - when you come to visit.
One last note ... this isn't just about FUND raising ... it's also about raising AWARENESS, COMMITMENT and SERVICE. See below for some suggestions on how you or yor organization can get involved in Fair Havens and its mission.
