Chances to Give Back



Shari Breese tells me that the YMCA here in Dripping Springs is hosting a Bunco night on Friday, March 6th, at 7:30.  Cost is $25 and the money goes to help kids who can't afford sports programs.  There will be free food, door prizes, and a silent auction.

The Austin Area Crop Walk for Food is March 7th and 8th.  This is an annual nationwide event .  In 2008 walkers, representing 110 faith communities and other organizations, raised almost $140,000.   And 25% of the money raised stays in the local area. This event is aimed at feeding the hungry and, more importantly, teaching those in need how to feed themselves.  For more information you can visit the web site at Austin CROP Hunger Walk.  If  you'd like to donate but don't want to walk, our family is walking and would be proud to include your donation with ours.  Just give me a call at 415-5782 or 829-4284.

Another worthy cause is the Burke Center.  Mandola Estate Winery and Trattoria Lisina invite you to "An Evening in the Vineyard" benefiting the Burke Center for Youth on Monday, March 2nd at 6:30 p.m.  Delicious appetizers, dinner, wine, dessert, live music, live and silent auction items including our very own Arlene Viele's donation of a 3-night stay at Dog Camp in a luxury suite.  Sorry, dogs only.  Join the Breese's and the Bills' for this special evening.  Tickets are $100 each for this fabulous night.  Contact Shari Breese for tickets at 858-0715.
