Booksale to Benefit PV Volunteers This Saturday in the Bronx

We're selling books outside the deli opposite P.S. 19 on Katonah Avenue/ E. 237th Street on Saturday,  May 31. Our table will be part of the Woodlawn Sidewalk Fair, so hopefully a lot of people will be there.

If you have books you could donate that morning, please stop by our table. And of course come by to say hello and buy lots of books!

Tell friends, please!

(If you can't make it but would like to donate a few bucks, we'd appreciate that too -- pvprogram.org)

Thanks, everyone - hope to see you on Saturday!

Another Successful LWP Event

This past weekend, there was a garage in Gainesville, FL with all proceeds going to help support the PV Volunteers.  A recap of the event from the organizers .... Lots of stuff! Less than usual garage sale shoppers (holiday weekend oops!) but yet we had neighbors, fellow church goers, friends and yes, more than a few random shoppers. We also had coffee and breakfast sweets! Our donation jar and cash box netted a whopping $408.64! Thank you to all those involved! We appreciate the donations of your items, time and money but above all these we appreciate you for your generosity and abundant love and for supporting the PV Volunteers!

Thank you to the Gutierrez-Mahn-Gavidia Clan!!!

New Jersey LWP Fundraisers a Smashing Success

There was a two night fundraiser held on May 2nd and 3rd in North Jersey to benefit the PV Volunteers.  Two volunteer families each hosted a night at their house. There was wine tasting and silent auction, as well as hour devours and desserts. As an added bonus, local youth provided live music during the event creating a wonderful atmosphere. In addition, on Saturday night some of the local PV Volunteers were able to make it.  On both nights, there were boutonnières for all the volunteers so that they would stand out and could answer any questions someone might have about the PVs. Another great thing about the boutonnieres was that people could see that even the kids are just as important as the adults.  The group shot says it all.  A great time was had by all and between the two events over $3,000 was raised for the PVs. 

Thank you Melao and Fay/Bernstein families for organizing!!!

Seattle Live with Passion Potluck

After a gorgeous week in Seattle, unfortunately the weather changed a bit just in time for the LWP Potluck. There were intermittent  showers and much cooler temperatures for the event, but being true north-westerners everybody still hung-out outside and pretended that the weather was fine. The evening included great food, pickleball, basketball, soccer and most importantly great conversations. For the second year, the Seattle LWP Potluck coincided with the end of the Seattle PV week so the volunteers and potluck goers had a lot to talk about. Besides the traveling PVs, there were five locals who joined in the service activities during the week and they were all in attendance at the potluck. All in all a wonderful evening was had by all, and monies were raised for the PVs.
