A Taste of Fall A Success!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped make this year's A Taste of Fall a success!  Party-goers enjoyed the acoustic sounds of the Tony Bondi Project while they sipped on wine, beer, pepper-infused tequila, and the favorite of the night, "Rumchata".  In addition to an interesting mix of drinks, delicious food abounded!  Everything from artisan cheese to chocolate fondue to cupcakes and strudel were enjoyed by guests that night.  Some pretty intense bidding wars happened over a number of our unbelievable silent auction items.  Thanks to everyone you helped raise nearly $8,000 for LPCS programs! 

Thank you to all of our in-kind and financial sponsors, without you this event wouldn't have happened!

World Homeless Day 2010

The first ever World Homeless Day was held on October 10, 2010.  World Homeless Day was organized to draw attention to homelessness locally and provide opportunities for the community to get involved in responding to homelessness, while taking advantage of the stage an ‘international day’ provides.  Events were held around the world from Toledo and Calgary to London and Bangladesh, and everywhere in between.  Hopefully this day will continue to grow and bring even more attention to the issue of homelessness. 

If you did anything to "celebrate" World Homeless Day we would love to know about it!
