You're Invited! Vi's Share the Care Kick-off Potluck

Aloha all! Please join us on Sunday, May 17th, 1:30pm to 4ish, for "Vi's Share the Care Kick-off Potluck"! This first gathering, which will be at Vi & Jan's house on Tantalus, will be an opportunity to understand the concept of "Share the Care" and learn about Vi's Share the Care group, "Violet's Web".

Please join us to support and nurture Vi and her family as she faces the challenges of living with ALS. This first meeting is simply about connecting with Vi and the family, understanding what "Violet's Web" is all about, and learning how YOU can help.

Please feel free to bring a light pupu or dessert. Also BYOB!

Please RSVP to Janice Churma at 255-3122 or by email itsdonehi@hotmail.com by May 8th. Let us know if you can attend and what munchies you might be bringing. Also, let us know if you know of someone that would be interested in attending and/or being a part of "Violet's Web". Help us spread the word!

If you have questions, please contact Janice at itsdonehi@hotmail.com or Kimi Chun at kimi@peggychun.com
