It's official! We're throwing our 1st annual Missoula Project Christmas Party and we'd love to have you and your friends join us! Here's the skinny...- festivities start on Friday Dec 14, at 7 PM
- we'll be having fine wine and amazing tapas (light appetizers)
- beginning at 9:30 PM we'll have live music by local legend, David Boone! (if you missed him at the Wilma, you can catch him in our basement)
- because of space considerations, we're asking parents to get a sitter for young children, and we're limiting attendance to the first 50 folks who RSVP (which means, you probably ought to click that link RIGHT NOW and let us know you'd like to come el pronto, before someone else does first!)
Would you consider making a tax deductible donation (~ $10/person) when you arrive? The Missoula Project will match all funds raised (up to $1000) and use them to help "adopt" two or three single mothers in our community who don't have any other support network. We'd like to help them with Christmas presents, clothes for their kids, unpaid bills, as well as any physical needs. We'd like to brighten their holiday season, but we'd also like to be a resource for these women all year long.
Would you help us with this effort? Even if you can't come to the party, you can still contribute to this effort - simply make out a check to the "Missoula Project" and write "single moms" in the memo line. You'll get a receipt for financial purposes at the end of the year. We'll keep you posted on how the money gets spent.
In addition, we may identify additional non-monetary physical needs - like helping to install a new water heater, or passing along some toys that your kids have outgrown, or maybe just being willing a mother's children so she can have a break. If you'd be interested in helping us think creatively about meeting some of these less tangible needs, please let Austen (218-8181) know.
We look forward to celebrating Christmas with you, and we invite you to help us make someone else's Christmas a little better while we're at it.
