Fundraising Efforts At Novato Youth Center December 1st









It was an amazing night and the gym was full! Their were about ten rows of tables filled to the hilt. The evening started with a fantastic dinner donated by the Pasta King. During the dinner service their were fabulous raffle prizes and the mood was set. The 380 guests were ready to spend their hard earned money ro support the Magana gang. Most of the live auction, went way over value.

Also, Jessie, Abelina eldest brother came from Arizona, as well as her baby sister Hilda from San Jose, Mexico. All of them shared wonderful words of gratitude! It was quite a picture to see Jessie, Claudia and Hilda speaking to all of Abelina's well wishers. There was not a dry eye in the house. It was the first time the kids and see Big John with alligator tears. We ended the night dancing the night away to the Natural Hazards (a band consisting of a real estate agents). I highly reccomend this band they are all very talented and yes they donated their time.

Thank you Frank Howard Allen and Circle Bank, Laura Mattos, Joanna Frazier,Ronna Sommers, Marta Moran, Kyle Frazier, Dave Bouncritiani, The Speilman's and many more volunteers that made the magic happen.

Thank you so much for organizing the wonderful event. I was outbid on all the silent auction items - but I'm glad everything was so popular! I was unable to stay after dinner since my 3 year old was melting down. But, thanks again for the hard work in putting on such a nice fundraiser. It was a great beginning to this holiday season.

We are praying for Abelina and sending positive thoughts that she will continue to heal. Prayers have been said for her and the children at our church in San Francisco. We know God is watching over all of them and hope this gives them some strength.
