Breakfast Fundraiser at Evans Prairie
 
Evans Prairie will be hosting a fundraiser August 2nd, 8am-noon for Lacey Klein, GM of Evans Prairie, who was in a terrible accident nearly a month ago. She is a single mother and is in need of help. She is likely to be out of work for at least another month, most likely longer, with ongoing medical bills that would financially cripple most of us. 100% of all proceeds will be matched by Evans Prairie and given to her. I am very hopeful that readers of this post will feel inclined to help. She's a good person for one, and wouldn't it be nice to see your charitable dollars in action? Details will be in Friday's and Saturday's Fresh Made Market Ads in the paper. I have faith that the kind people of the Villages that I run into each and everyday will come together in unity for this very good cause. Thank you for your every consideration!!!

I put a post on the Villages Facebook page.

Thank you
 
Thanks very much Bonnie. I was hoping that this post might get more views as Lacey's needs are significant, but maybe the full page Ads in the paper on Friday and Saturday will get the job done. With Fred matching 100% of the proceeds after having continued to keep her on payroll thus far, I'd say Evans Prairie is doing all that they can, but it still doesn't come close to getting the job done for her. Oh well, I am not going to lose faith in this event that easily, or the people of the Villages. $25 minimum donation for a breakfast is a lot, but its a very worthwhile cause folks

Thanks for the heads up. I have faith in the charitable nature of our fellow Villagers.

It's definitely a well-worth cause.

I saw the item Bonny put up on the Villages Group's Facebook page. Looks like a worthwhile cause.

We went, and it looked like a pretty good turnout. Plus, the food was delicious!
