See you Sunday on the lake!

Our forecast looks great for Sunday! Thanks for the weather prayers and no-rain dances. Here is a basic reminder of the details: Sunday 8/4 2:00pm - 5:00pm West side shoreline of the lake - look for the signs. This is an anchor-up event - no access to shoreline or private property. The most important part? All donations benefit Valley Outreach! If you plan to give online or send a check directly to Valley Outreach PLEASE remember to write "Carnelian Cares" in the notes section or the memo line of your check. We want to be able to celebrate the correct total when the final tally is in. I've received a few paypal payments already and a few checks mailed to me as well. That works really slick from our end of things, and THANKS for donating early! If you are prepared to give cash or check on the day of the event, we will be sending a jet ski around about halfway through the concert (3:30ish) to gather those. Deadline to donate will be Wednesday 8/7. I will have a total for you all posted by Friday 8/9. A neighborhood challenge for you all: Every year we've done this, we've increased our donation amount incrementally. Our goal this year is $10k, especially since the band is corporately sponsored (see previous posts). Last year we raised close to $8500, and after paying the band we were able to donate over $5k. I believe we can reach this goal of $10k for an organization that has served our neighbors in need for over 35 years. So what do you all say? Challenge accepted? Let's do this!
