Suntweet Success!

The SunTweet event was a major success. Everyone had a great time, we met lots of people, and collectively gave to a deserving charity.

Our presentation to Serenity…

Money was posted to the Serenity account. Our work here is done!

After reviewing the event, and counting up our contribution to Serenity I am overwhelmed with a great feeling that is the spirit of giving. I have never done anything like this before, and admittedly have to swallow back a lump in my throat as I consider how we may have helped a person in need. Maybe a bill or two, maybe breakfast or dinner, maybe a new pair of shoes, or maybe just a fun trip to a movie or museum. I hope that our contribution will help Serenity and her parents sleep a little easier, take a little break, or bring a little extra cheer. Thank you all for participating.

Mark your calendar for next year; We WILL do it again!
