Come bid on this Vermont made pencil post bed that we donated to Make a Wish Vermont. The auction is Saturday, September 20th at World Learning in Brattleboro, starting at 6pm with the Brattleboro Celebrity Waiter Dinner.September is a big fundraising month for the Vermont chapter of Make A Wish and they're hoping to get a little help from you. "We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy." What could be a better mission than that? The Make a Wish website shows a couple recent wishes & dreams that have come true, locally:
- Aaron, a 16-year-old boy suffering from cancer who always dreamed of going to Comic Con in New York City was flown there with his family. They met celebrities at the show and attended Spiderman on Broadway
- Lexi, a 15 year old girl, also suffering from cancer was flown to Spa Atlantis in the Bahamas to swim with the dolphins. "We will always have the great memories and many pictures of the Bahamas, and when she goes back to the hospital next week, she will have all her stories and pictures to show the doctors. Lexi’s trip has re-energized her for what lies ahead."
Come and enjoy a gourmet meal at World Learning served by a team of "celebrity waiters", including Steve "Corm" Cormier and Dave Manning, Jerry Goldberg and David Brown, Tom Nasiatka and Mary Linney, Gina Pattison and Karen Henry, Stephan Morse and Bob Woodworth, John Benouski and Steve Sweet, Diedre Baker and Laurie Blair, and Jane Baker and Kate O'Connor.
