RAISING FUNDS FOR 2008 OPERATING EXPENSES

The 2008 Virginia Beach gathering committee has 4 wonderful items up for raffle prior to the gathering. Due to unexpected operating expenses, last year's committee had very little money to pass on to us. Raffle proceeds will go directly to operating expenses so we can make 2008's "A Walk on the Beach" a good time for everyone, and also allow us to pass forward a goodly sum for next year's gathering.

Our host hotel, The Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort on the Virginia Beach oceanfront, has kindly donated gift certificates for a 2-night stay in the hotel and $50 for you to spend at their premier restaurant, The Isle of Capri. The 2-Night stay at the hotel may be used during the gathering or up to a year afterwards. Exceptions are the summer season and holidays.

We have 2 one-day tickets to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, compliments of Cox Communications and Rick Eastman. The tickets, a $65.00 value, are good until October 26, 2008 which includes the weekend of the Gathering.

Helena Pimentel and her mother, Maria Baptista, have stitched together a beautiful ocean theme Quilt. (pictures coming soon) The gathering committee contributed to their efforts either monetarily or by embroidering squares for the back of the quilt. It was a true labor of love that we hope you'll want to own. The quilt is approximately 60" X 54" and would be perfect as either a nice decorative throw or very impressive wall hanging.
