On Thursday evening this week, we hosted a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception for Hopelink donors at our home. Since 1971, Hopelink has served homeless and low income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities. Hopelink's mission is to promote self-sufficiency for all members of our community; to help people make lasting change.
Hopelink CEO, Marilyn Mason-Plunkett (top photo), shared some of the heartwarming stories about clients that these donors have helped. Of course, given the current economy, the requests for assistance far outstrip the ability of the agency to deliver so every dollar is truly needed. This is an organization that does so much good work and Ken and I are very proud to be associated with Hopelink. Ken and I were pleased to receive “permanent volunteer” nametags from Hopelink Chairman of the Board, Matt Wesley for our roles as Co-Chairs of the annual Part of the Solution Campaign, and a lovely gourmet gift basket.
Steve Gordon, caterer extraordinaire, and his team prepared beautiful and delicious one bite hors d’oeuvres (bottom photo) that were eagerly consumed by the guests in attendance. As guests departed, they were given Hopelink mugs and Seattle Chocolates as a thank you for their support.
