News about February 20, 2008 event for VITA (Virgin Islands Therapist Association).
The Dinner and a Cause at Lotus was such a great success, and we want to thank you all so much. There were 79 of us who attended. A wonderful turn out!

We especially want to thank Nicole and Eric Horstmeyer and Zack Zoller for generously inviting us to have the event at Lotus Asian Grille. Also, thanks to Winifred McLean for doing such a fabulous job organizing our event and being so gracious. Everything was just perfect.
We raised $4,190 for VITA. I know you will all agree, after their heart rending presentation about the difficulties these families of disabled children have, there was not a dry eye in the party. What a worthy and important cause this is!

We also wanted to say a special “Thanks” to Rhea Vasconcellos and Terri Brown who chipped in together and purchased the special bath Chair for one of the children featured in the slide show. A special thanks to all who when they are able donate more than the minimum $35.
For those of you who would like to get together with your friends or colleagues and purchase a piece of equipment for any of the children, we are going to send Jacqui and Kelly’s special “wish list” in a subsequent e-mail message. Please click here to view just a few of the special "wish list" requests.
For those of you unable to attend who will be making a donation (or for those who wish to make an additional donation), Please send donations to the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands, P.O. Box 11790, St. Thomas, VI 00801.  The checks can be made out to CFVI . . . please indicate they are for "Dinner & A Cause".

Dinner and a Cause would not exist without each and every one of you. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate the camaraderie and attendance at our parties. It is such a great feeling to know that by having fun we can make a change in the quality of a person’s life.
Thanks to all of you.

Terry, Suzanne and Pam
