Team,

Last night 342 members of our community joined us at the Laurelhurst Theatre to raise funds for Mercy Corps Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund. In total we raised $3000!!!!As you can see from the pictures, people flocked to the theatre to show their support. Two shows were totally sold out, concession sales and attendance were up on previous weeks. Appreciations to theatre owners Woody and Prescott for partnering with the Hurst, Jeremy from Cellar Door Coffee Roasters for setting up a table in the foyer to talk about his time in Haiti. To Dean and Bruce for supporting the idea and huge gratitude to our community and team members who helped us raise much needed cash. A good time was had by all…I even watched a movie for the first time in

4 and a half years and ate myself silly!

The Hurst in lights!

An eager crowd awaits!

Irene did some great glass writing to shout out last night's event
