This coming Friday evening, on May 3rd, the Friends of Freeport are hosting a Sandy Responder Appreciation Night and Fundraiser! It will be at The Patio, and it's $35 a person for a plate, with all proceeds going to the Friends of Freeport charity!
Now, I've talked about Friends of Freeport before. They have this habit of locating Freeporters who need help in rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy and, y'know, helping them. Like friends would! They gut houses, they help put them back together again, and they donate a bucket-load of time and effort. To help raise funds, and to show appreciation to those who answered the call of duty during the "Superstorm" (Which I will always call a Hurricane, because I remember that's what it hit land as), and to help continue their renovation efforts, they're holding an open bar event with a DJ, 50/50 raffle tickets (inquire on their Facebook page!), and door prizes given away through raffles!
So I donated $50 worth of autographed books; all of my in-print works, up to and including my latest 5-star reviewed paperback novel Physics Incarnate! Here's a picture of me with Debbie from Friends of Freeport, because that's what journalists would want to show off, because readers supposedly enjoy such things!
Yep! So join us on May 3rd at The Patio; show your support of our first responders, enjoy the open bar (that means free booze), and if all else fails take a crack at winning some free reading material, or other great prizes like restaurant gift cards! See you there!
Has anyone been able to find info on what food is being served...? I have 2 guests attending, one can't do dairy or pork, the other is strictly vegetarian, lol. We'll all manage, I'm sure, since the point is to fundraise and not just eat, but we do like to be prepared. =)
