The second event will take place in the Wellington High School bus loop located at 2101 Greenview Shores Boulevard and will include music, refreshments and a car decoration contest with gift cards for the winners.

The following items are requested: instant mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, canned vegetables including green beans, peas, corn and sweet potatoes, packaged stuffing, turkey gravy, cornbread mix and muffin mix. The food will be collected and donated to Wellington residents in need during the holiday season.

http://fundraiserforkidneytransplantation.yolasite.com/  :  The Corradino family is in need of all your help and support.  The father is in the process of undergoing a kidney transplant and the son Raymond is going to be the donor. The transplant will take place on December 14th, 2011. This is a very hard and expensive procedure as Raymond, the son, will have to miss between 4-6 weeks of work and his father will miss at least 3 months of work, (if he can even return to work again)

We are looking to raise money to help with the cost of the surgery as well as the expense of the medication dad will have to take for the rest of his life, as well as to help to cover the cost of the time away from work.

We are doing a fundraising event on November 18th, 2011 at the New York Comedy Club of Boca. For more information please visit our “fundraising event info” link above.

We are also taking cash donations through paypal. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

We are currently setting up a PO.box for anyone who wishes to mail in donations.
