Friday....

I am so touched that Friday some dear friends are having a fundraiser for me.  The details are below, I really hope that some of you can come, as it will be a wonderful time. They have planned great food and drink, included in your ticket price, and there are great raffle prizes and more.  I am planning on being there as long as I can as I will have my second treatment the day before....
On July 23rd, Friends of Kari Harris are holding a fundraising event to assist with the medical expenses the Harris family will accrue as a result of her diagnosis of stage 3 breast cancer. Kari is a dear friend who provides countless hours of service and commitment to our neighborhood and community. She is always willing to offer creative ideas, a helping hand, and an organizing force to any venture that benefits others. Her generous and compassionate nature motivates us to help her during this very difficult time.

Kari is a devoted wife and mother of two small children who thrive on her energy, attention, and love. On behalf of Kari, we are writing to invite you to our fundraiser which will be held at the Oak Park Art League on July 23rd from 7-10pm.
