Priceless gift
My husband, Andy, and I want to thank the Tri-City community for their incredible generosity to the benefit for our friend, Becky Morris.
We are overwhelmed at the gracious response of local businesses, our family and friends, and friends of friends. They have illustrated that community is not bound by city limits nor by familiar faces -- and that the human spirit will rise to the occasion when stirred by the beautiful grace of compassion.
Included in this circle of assistance is the Tri-City Herald for the article that they published to help us spread the word. Our special gratitude to Tony Roma's and Templeman's Meat Market, Caon de Sol Winery, Concert Production Services, Shelby's Floral, and the auctioneer team, Mike Talbot and Bobby Long.

Safe Harbor plans Beggars' Banquet
Safe Harbor plans Beggars' Banquet
Safe Harbor Crisis Nursery will put on a Beggars' Banquet on Nov. 18 at the Three Rivers Convention Center, hoping to raise money to pay for services in 2012.
The banquet, a soup-tasting dinner and auction, is the nursery's major fundraising event of the year. All funds raised will help reduce child abuse and neglect in the community by providing education and support to children and families in crisis.
Safe Harbor is working toward opening an overnight shelter for teens, aged 13-17, soon at facilities in Kennewick called My Friends Place. It is next door to the Benton County Animal Shelter on Grant Place, and formerly had been a residential facility managed for youth by EPIC.
