Thank you for supporting fundraiser

So often when we watch the news or read the newspaper we see destruction, hate, abuse, anger and separation. We read about the youth and we see gangs, violence and disobedience. Fallbrook, as a community, is fortunate to have the Village News because in it we see more of the good in human nature and less of the bad. I hope you don’t mind me sharing one more positive aspect about this town.

On Tuesday night, February 6, a couple of churches worked together to raise money for our youth. Business owners donated their time and their restaurant and cooked up some excellent food for the fundraiser. Sixty-five couples, young and old, gathered together with their sweethearts to dine at the local Garden Center Café, where 43 percent of the monies paid went to our local youth groups. A couple of students helped to serve and clean up 130 dinners and desserts, working hard the entire evening. The night as a whole was a huge success.

I want to thank Bill and Vicki Porter, the owners of Garden Center Café, for having a huge heart for this town and the youth groups within. I want to thank the churches in Fallbrook who believe that different buildings do not mean different purposes. I want to thank the 130 individuals who participated in the fundraiser. I also need to thank the youth of this generation who continue to serve the people in Mexico, in San Diego and in Fallbrook.

Nothing brings me more joy than people who work together to help our teens. This fundraiser was a success only because of the caring individuals who participated. So, thank you for caring. Prayerfully, this community can continue to grow together, work together and serve together.

By God’s grace, thank you.
