You are Cordially Invited Massachusetts Citizens for Life Annual Fundraising Banquet Friday, October 19 Mary Ann Glendon, Keynote Speaker Lantana in Randolph, Social Hour, 6:00, Banquet, 7:00 CLICK HERE for more information and tickets I want to remind you that we have moved the Walk to Aid Mothers and Children to April 28, 2013. The following article appeared in the May/June MCFL News I hope you'll be able to come to the Banquet. Please put the Walk on your calendar. Anne MCFL's 26th Respect Life Walk Moves to Spring 2013 The MCFL Walk Committee is pleased to announce that the 26th Annual Respect Life Walk to Aid Mothers and Children will take place in Spring 2013. Respect Life Walk Co-Chair Nicholi McLaughlin said, "The reasoning behind the change is a conflict with MCFL's Annual Dinner which also takes place in October. It doesn't make sense for MCFL to have two major fund-raising events so close together." The delay until 2013 will give the Walk Committee extra time to investigate more opportunities for matching gifts and corporate donations. Last year MCFL received a partial matching grant from the Choose Life Foundation and donations of free ice cream from H.P. Hood. "We are hoping that these ideas will inspire the walkers knowing that every pledge they bring in will go even further," continued McLaughlin. "We've been especially gratified to see more youth groups participating in raising money for pro-life organizations in their towns." For twenty-five years, the Walk has benefited more than forty organizations that help mothers choose life for their children. The beneficiaries, mostly staffed by volunteers, provide an impressive array of aid, including crisis pregnancy services, homes for pregnant women and educational programs. |
