Dinner Dance doings - and more!

Thank you so much to everyone who turned out at the Venus de Milo in Swansea on April 17! What a great night - and if you were there, we certainly hope you enjoyed it!

The auction and raffle went VERY well, which is truly appreciated by all of us - especially when economic times continue to be tough on us all. Our event organizing team, led by Jim Cavanaugh, Jerry Donovan and Joe DaSilva, worked hard this year - as they do every year - and as they have done now for 15 straight years! Thanks to the entire Fall River crew for their efforts on behalf of our wish kids - we simply could not do without you!

There are more events coming up on the calendar that you might want to know about - so make sure you check them out, listed under "Special Events" on the left hand column! For instance, an Ice Cream Social is coming up on April 30th at the Ben & Jerry's location on Meeting Street in Providence (just off Thayer on the East Side, near Brown). Come and enjoy an ice cream anytime between 6 and 8 pm that night and a portion of the proceeds go to our wish kids! We have some great student volunteers from Johnson & Wales running the show - how cool is that?

We will be using this blog to post updates on more of our kids' wishes as well...so stand by for news, as the late, great Paul Harvey used to say. And if you have YOUR OWN wish-related news to share, feel free to post it here, or send it to john@awishcometrue.org and we'll let others know!
