Donation List

I just posted a new donation list for this year's Gypsy Soiree, go to the Donation Ideas page (at the top) and you can print it out for yourself (although this year, monetary donations are what they need most).

So...I had been wavering still about this year's Gypsy Soirée...some other things came up (and I've been pretty pathetic about planning much yet) and I was possibly going to have to cancel.

BUT NO! It's on!

And please feel free to share and invite your friends...not everyone who usually attends is a friend of mine on Facebook, many of you bring along others, which is fantastic.

And, now I know who we're going to support with the party this year:

I've done some volunteer work for Open Doors for Youth in Elk River, a great organization that supports the local youth (16-23) who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability. This place was started and is run by a small but great group of caring and compassionate women.

I've asked them if they'd like to be the recipient this year, and they were so excited! They'll be getting me a list of things they need, and things they've only dreamed about wanting (for the youth or to help them run the organization), so I'll post that as soon as they get it to me.

Meanwhile, you can check out their website, or find them on Facebook too.
