Eat, drink, sing, and have fun--for a good cause!

Our favorite kind of fundraiser for the Whetstone project is one that helps build community bonds while helping build the community center.

In June, Jean & Andy Ault hosted a backyard fundraiser that brought together East Longview neighbors for food, fun and performances by local talent. By charging folks for pizza and salad—and taking brick order forms and other donations—the evening raised over $1,000 to support the center!


Last night, on July 20th, Christine & Ken Kowalski hosted friends and neighbors for a benefit party. Many thanks to Mama Mimi’s, Gatto’s and Primo Pizza for providing the food. It was a wonderful evening of food, mingling and fun—and live music! Check out this picture to see the help provided by the “back up singers.”

These two evenings were a great success—in both raising funds and fostering community. Thanks to everyone involved!
