Benefit for Laurie Marlatt

Below is a message from a girl I met whilst I was in hospital, both her and her family had a huge effect on me whilst I was in. She was airlifted back home to Indiana last Friday, if anyone wants to make any donations or offer any help of any kind I'm sure it will be much appreciated.............

"Hi everyone.....I am in need of some great help from you and your friends....so please pass this message on.

A few of us are organizing a benefit for Laurie Marlatt. At this time it is set up for Saturday, March 18th....not a lot of time to prepare but from all of us and all of our friends we can pull this off.

Laurie met the million dollar mark on her insurance so it will no longer pay. They will be burdening the expense of the air flight back from Boston as well as her IU hospitalization, the ambulance ride home and hospice care. This benefit will help them to offset those charges.

We are going to do a dance, bake sale and auction combo. I am in need of bake sale items as well as if anyone would like to donate gift certificates, new items as well as craft items to be auctioned off. The auction may just be a silent auction...not sure yet because I am in the planning stages. The admission to the dance will just be a free will donation.

Please let me know what you or anyone else can do to help. I can be reached at at [e-mail] or my phone numbers are 932-4805 or 561-0827. I am currently on maternity leave so I am available one way or another.

Thank you for all of your help in advance. I know Laurie and her family appreciates all that we do to help her.
