SAWERA Fundraiser - a success!!

Thank you to all who participated in making this year's SAWERA fundraiser a success! We sold over 200 tickets and had an engaging live auction and donation call that resulted in the much needed support for the women and children. In these tough economic times, without the direct support of the community, non-profit organizations are the first to suffer a loss. We sincerely appreciate the generosity of all and look forward to the 3rd annual fundraiser in 2009! Until then, please continue to remember the women and children of SAWERA.
