Greetings,

Our project is Empowering our American Veterans through Art workshop. We are positive you have touched many lives by serving our Country. Now it is our time to support  and “Thank you.” After fighting for our freedom, Veterans come home and are suffering PTSD. These workshops help them work through their trauma.

To date, we have raised 10% of our goal. We have partnered with the GlobalGiving Foundation to participate in its Open Challenge a fundraising opportunity for nonprofit organizations working around the world. 

In order to succeed in GlobalGiving’s Open Challenge, the Charles Allis Art Museum must raise $4,000 from 50 donors by December 22, 2010.

 Please help us reach the threshold of $4,000 from 50 donors! Be one of the first people to make a donation at http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/empowering-our-american-veterans-through-art/  Not only will your donation help the Veterans Art program at the Charles Allis but, it will help us take advantage of a long-term fundraising opportunity!

Warm Regards,

Patty Redeker

Raphael,

It was great to see you listed here as I've been
wondering how you were doing ever since you left to
serve your country. You use to work part time at Holly-
wood Video in shorewood and I just remember saying
hello to you on Oakland from time to time in passing.
We use to refer to ourselves as the two Ralph's working
on Oakland. You're a good man Raphael and I wish you
all the best.


Ralph Wettstein.

Welcome to the Hootch Rapheal :) :) :)
