Homer gives hope -- plus

Hope From Homer would like to thank all who participated in the art auction benefit Help from the H~Arts. Many artists contributed their talent for the benefit; we thank you. Thanks also to local businesses who contributed their products/services -- to name a few: Home Run Oil, Homer Bookstore, Best Western, Picture Alaska Art Gallery, The Art Shop, Tan-It-All, Bear Creek Winery, Morning Star Studios, Homer Inn and Spa and Hideaway Cove Cabins. Thanks to Maura and staff who provided superb food and service.

Finally, the success of our benefit is directly attributed to the generosity of the Bidarka Inn, whose kitchen and hotel staff was truly amazing, tirelessly going above and beyond to aid our cause. We thank you. Our purpose for fund-raising is to provide desperately needed food, housing and medicine to street children and orphans in Peru -- to sum it up, bring hope.

By way of support, you have sent hope.Know this: By giving, you are blessed in ways I cannot effectively describe. Help from the H~Arts art auction benefit was Hope From Homer's first endeavor of its kind. Its success is because of you all.
