Benny's on the Beach Fundraiser

Dear Wes,

Robert Waples and I, in a collaborative effort between Neighbors Helping Neighbors, Genesis Neighborhood Association, Palm Beach Sheriff's office  are taking action to assist the new Secretary/Treasurer for Genesis.  Her home needs some work due to termite damage and the A/C is shot and generating exorbitant utility bills.   She needs assistance with items to continue providing the proper care for this wheelchair bound senior with many health challenges that she rescued from Terraces of Lake Worth.  

We are proud to announce that Deputy Sheriff Donovan hit the ground running and in less than 48 hours from hearing about this woman's plight has spoken to contacts that do a/c repair, exterminating, medical professionals that may help donate some repair work and supplies.  That is not the best part, he also coordinated a fundraiser at Benny's on the Beach.  We cordially invite you and all your readers and their friends to come to Benny's on the Beach on January 29th, 2011 for a fundraiser breakfast they have generously agreed to host.  Please help us show Benny's how grateful we are to them for doing this by showing up in big numbers.  Part of the proceeds from the breakfast will go toward aid for this woman.  If they see a big turn out imagine how willing they will be to continue their support of our local community service efforts!

I hope that your readers also realize how important it is to patronize the businesses in our community who, even though they are hurting also from a weak economy, still care enough about the community they operate in that they don't hesitate to give back.  I was told that when they were asked to help they didn't even flinch, they said let's set a date!  

Wes since your blog is Lake Worth's best and has the largest amount of followers, I am sending you this to post.  It will help us get as many people possible to this great fundraiser.  I look forward to seeing you and the rest of our neighbors there.

Sincerely,
Mark A. Parrilla
