Dear JSRF friends:
Summer is finally here and we are busy connecting with different organizations to identify teens for summer camps and outdoor recreational or educational experiences. Please stay tuned for our next JSRF e-Newsletter as you will learn about our new partner organizations who have identified teens for JSRF this year. It is another exciting year for JSRF!
Our JSRF Yoga, Wine, and Chocolate event was another great success. We had 37 yogis on the night of April 10th, and raised a total of $902! We thank our very special yoga teacher Laurie Kane, for guiding us through the seven Chakras; Sayra Stom, for doing the inspirational readings; and Kate O’Donnell for preparing and serving some of our exotic foods – like the tasty Macha tea and chocolate balls. We also thank Jayne Amhaus for preparing and donating yummy lemon bars!
A special thank you to all those who attended, donated their time and made extra monetary donations on Yoga night.You loved our event and our mission and decided you wanted to do more. For all of you who couldn’t be with us on Yoga night, but also made donations we thank you for supporting JSRF. We continue to be humbled by the love and support of so many of you. Together we are making a difference in the lives of many young teens …and hopefully saving a life.
Peace,
Ciri, Scott & Sayra Stom
