For those who may not know, St. Rose Outreach and Recovery (SOAR) will close operations in December, 2009 leaving a void in the outreach and community recovery efforts.
During the past 18 months di and bonnie have become certified resiliency trainers and are excited to continue the work begun in Bay St. Louis and througout the US.
Our first annual fundraising dinner kicked off with the sweet aroma of love, coupled with the tantalizing fragrance from the kitchen of Chef Zac. Hugs and laughter were the attire for the evening. The evening began with appetizers and music by Relative Unknown, followed by lovely dinner and Celebration program.
As Joy and RJ began the evening with soft music, people gathered around the appetizer table reminiscing of when we all gathered together on the McDonald Ballfield.
Stories were free flowing as people shared their favorite distribution center, women’s luncheon and celebration memories.
There was plenty of laughter and a few tears as we celebrated Di and Bonnie’s impact in the Bay over the past four years.
Testimonials painted a beautiful picture of transformation, healing and hope birthed out of Katrina’s destruction.
Love offerings were accpeted and 10% of the proceeds will be used to help fund the next Challenge Day in the Bay.
If you were unable to attend the fundraiser, you can donate your love offering to support the ministry here on our site.
As always, we are grateful for your prayers and support and let’s be ready as God blows a new breeze through PNEUMA Winds of Hope.
