Raise the Roof for Clifton Sanctuary

Nov 16 2010

From Don Long:

Tell your friends, make some noise, swing from the rafters, stop the drips....

Years of transforming the lives of our guests have taken a toll on the roof and it needs some quick repair.

You can help wipe the drips off of the guests as they walk in the door by making a contribution to our Raise the Roof campaign!

This is a one-week campaign in which we hope to raise $3,000 needed to repair the roof.

If enough people could pitch in make just a $15 contribution, we'll be dripless!

Be a part of that half!!!  Make it happen!  Get excited!  Raise the Roof!!!

Your $15 will help make this possible.  Click here to donate $15 through PayPal.
          

Or Perhaps you could give more. Click here to donate the amount of your choosing through PayPal.
      
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR US! YOU CAN ALSO DONATE BY VISITING THE FRONT PAGE OF OUR WEBSITE, CLIFTONSANCTUARY.COM

Fall Fest photos from Samantha Shal

Nov 11 2010

Check out these great Fall Fest pics by photographer Samantha Shal on Flickr. Lots of fantastic shots in there of the race, the bands, the artists' market, and just people having a good time.

Thanks, Samantha, for capturing the weekend so beautifully!

And to the other photographers who gave me photo discs, I apologize profusely for not making the pics available to everyone more quickly. My MacBook ate one of the discs and it has taken two trips to the Apple Store emergency room to get back up and running. :) Stay tuned for them to appear on this site!
