So is it just me<br />
or is business<br />
and “stuff”<br />
feel like it is<br />
already midsummer<br />
and<br />
we are looking<br />
forward to the Fall Season slowdown?<br />
Your Charitable Foundation has started<br />
out of the gates of <strong>2018</strong> with warped<br />
speed.<br />
1. On January 16th, Dee Karlsson<br />
and her staff put together a fundraiser<br />
that consisted of a<br />
private showing of the<br />
new Star Wars movie as<br />
well as a Silent Auction.<br />
It was a tremendous<br />
success with almost<br />
every seat sold and approximately<br />
2/3 of the<br />
theatre seats had warm<br />
and happy bodies in<br />
them. Additionally, over $1000 dollars<br />
were raised via the Silent Auction. Please<br />
note that every penny of profit will be<br />
donated to<br />
<strong>Peninsula</strong><br />
housingrelated<br />
charities<br />
in the Fall.<br />
2. Then one week later, Tu Ritter set<br />
up the Foundation’s support of the Virginia<br />
<strong>Peninsula</strong>’s Food Pantry distribution of<br />
food items to those in need in Poquoson.<br />
Literally a huge truck loaded with pallets<br />
of turkeys, ham, chicken, canned goods,<br />
produce etc. were unloaded and handed<br />
out to those less fortunate. It gives us a<br />
good understanding of how blessed we<br />
are when we help out in an event like this.<br />
3. As a reminder, our remaining<br />
<strong>2018</strong> fundraising events will include the<br />
highly successful annual golf tournament<br />
in May, a Bowlathon in July, and a Casino<br />
Night in October.<br />
4. We still have several non-fundraising<br />
months to conduct our hands-on<br />
assistance to these housing related charities.<br />
For example, we could be helping<br />
Habitat for Humanity with a home construction<br />
project or LINK and their winter<br />
homeless shelter program.<br />
If you would like to know more about<br />
the Foundation or perhaps wish to get<br />
involved in this community outreach<br />
program, please feel free to give me a call<br />
(660-3906) or email me at Sully@Liz-<br />
Moore.com. We look forward to sharing<br />
with you more great news about your<br />
Foundation in the coming months.<br />
