My "in the vicinity" Friends

 For all the locals (Portland area peeps):

Save the dates (Dec 3 &4)...this coming Friday and Saturday from noon til 5pm, my niece Leah Marl will be kissing her job with Party Lite goodbye with this fantastic fund-raising event. Here is the info from the Facebook event page:

Leah Marl's home

17626 SE Emerald Drive

Milwaukie, OR

To raise funds for 2 adoptions!
Kenny & Amanda Marl &
Steve and Angie Shubin

Come stock up on candles, or do some Christmas shopping and support a good cause too! 50% of sales from Leah's stock and items sold from the Fundraiser brochure will go to support the adoptions & 25% of sales from the regular catalog or December specials flier. We will also have donations jars and other ways to give available. Thanks for prayers and support for these two couples!

Open house for 2 days from 12-5pm.

I should also mention to bring cash or check. Party Lite accepts credit card payment for regular catalog purchases, but not for fund-raising orders.

Also note...if you order anything, you will be given the option of writing "Shubin" or "Marl" or "both" on your order form, and Leah (having been taught well) shall do the math to make sure the appropriate funds go to the earmarked families.  We'll have treats available and hope you will stop in to be a part of this event.  This event is open to all so please help spread the word.
