Thank You

I just checked the dictionary under the word “Thank You”. They used terms like gratitude, appreciation and just plain thanks. I was hoping to find a word to express my thanks to all the wonderful people in my life who made Haven House’s recent fundraiser at the Barn Burner a success. Thank you does not seem enough; however I will go with that and hope everyone knows how grateful I am, to the Haven House Board of Directors, Haven House staff, volunteers and so many friends. I thank everyone for their ideas, talents, support and of course their donations in these very difficult economic times.
As a child said to me in a Valentine card she had made for me; “Thank you for taking care of us with food and other things”. “I really appreciate everything”
Love,
Sande

Queen Mary Paranormal Dinner/Auction a Huge Success!

This exceptionally fun event was presented by TAPS / Darknessradio.com on December 8th aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA.  The evening was attended by 200 ghost seekers and began with a delicious dinner followed by a live auction. Dave Schrader, co-producer of Darknessradio.com acted as auctioneer along with Tim Dennis who is also a co-producer.  Auction items included celebrity signed movie memorabilia, jewelry, T-Shirts, sitting next to celebrities at dinner (a big hit!) and much more.  The celebrities in attendance were Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson, Chris Fleming, Patrick Burns, Richard Felix, Chip Coffey and Erin Gray.  Totalling over $15,000, ALL proceeds from this auction were donated to Haven House!
