Haiti Benefit in Jubail Jan 27th

Post new topic

MisterStretch

A friend, in conjunction with some of the US Navy personnel living on our compound, are holding a fund raiser, along with a photo exhibition by an experienced ex-pat traveler on January 27th at Bajrai Garden Village compound in Jubail.

One of the US Navy personnel here has family in Haiti and will be taking leave next month to assist in recovery and rebuilding efforts there.  The funds will go directly on the ground, rather than through an aid organization. Some people from the American Legion here will be co-sponsoring the event.

A potluck dinner/fundraiser/shindig is how it's being billed with a goal of raising more than 10,000SAR. 

Expats and friends interested in attending or even helping sponsor the event can email the organizer David Miretti at dmiretti@gmail.com.  Please let him know before Sunday, so that your name can be added to the list at the security gate.

Please join us on January 27th...bring your wallet and your designated driver.

Well...don't believe any of you joined us, but by ourselves we managed to raise more than 22,000 Riyals for these people.

Next week, our Haitian friend will go and begin helping with relief and rebuilding efforts.

If you haven't already, please contribute to an organization that will use as much of the money, as possible, for the people on the ground there who are in desperate need.
