Countdown to the Black Tie Dinner
Ticket Sales Day is August
26th
The countdown to the Black Tie Dinner has begun,
and an important deadline is approaching: Ticket Sales Day on Saturday, Aug.
26.
By this day, Northaven's BTD planning committee will need to have all money in hand for our tables. If you have told a committee member you're planning to come but haven't written your check, please do so as soon possible. Also, a few seats are still available at our tables -- so if you want to go, it's not too late to say so! Please contact Ron Bobbitt at ronbobbitt@yahoo.com -- again, as soon as possible.
Also, we're still hoping to raise funds to fully underwrite a very special project: a “pastors’ table” that would introduce local Methodist clergy to the incredible breadth and scope of Dallas’ gay and lesbian community. Indeed, we've learned that change often comes one heart at a time, and that’s why the planning committee believes it’s important to “humanize” this issue for our clergy. One way, we know, is to invite them to witness this incredible event.
So far, the committee has received checks and pledges totaling $1,700 toward the $3,000 needed to invite four pastors and their spouses, all of whom will sit at the table to be hosted by Eric and Dennise.
If you would like to donate to this table, please contact Ron at ronbobbitt@yahoo.com, or simply make your check out to Northaven and give it to one of the members of the planning committee: Dick Weaver, Mary Mallory, Shirley Cooper, Marlene Haskell, Trey Jordan, Bob
Souter, Nan Arnold and Nancy Kruh.
Still want other ways you can help? The committee is continuing to sell $100 raffle tickets and recruit volunteers for the event. Stop
by the table in the atrium this Sunday for both opportunities! You can drop off your checks there, too.
