We have a 2010 Date!

 Wow! What a great year 2009 was! We collected over 2,000 pounds of turkey that went to feed those in need a delicious Thanksgiving dinner! We are so very excited to begin the process of planning this year's Turkey Party! I know it seems early, but we wanted to get a "Save the Date" notice out there for November 14, 2010 from 3 - 5:30 pm. Save the date, let all of your friends and family know, we are off and rolling for a successful Turkey Party this year.

Three Days to Go!

Well - only three more days and more news to report!  Two Chicks Coffee Company will be parked in front of our house during the Turkey Party and selling coffee drinks, but providing FREE COFFEE!!  If you are like my hubby, you'll be spending most of the afternoon sipping wonderful, dark, rich Taylor Maid Coffee!  Just to update the basic information - the Turkey Party is this Sunday, November 15th from 3:00 - 5:30 pm.  Our address is:

625 Tulare Street
Petaluma

If you have any other questions, please email me at deniseredeker@msn.com

Bring a frozen turkey or two and help feed those less fortunate throughout the county!  See you on Sunday!

FOUR DAYS AND COUNTING!

I can't believe that it's only four more days until the Turkey Party!  Thanks to all of you who came to the Dine and Donate Night at Velasco's!  We earned $100.00 for the Redwood Gospel Mission!  Great job everyone!

Now it's Turkey Party time!  Bring a frozen turkey (or two or four!) to the Redeker's home - 625 Tulare Street in Petaluma and enjoy some great food donated by our fabulous local restaurants (check out that donor list!).  We will also have items for sale to benefit the Mission and two Massage Therapists who will be providing short chair massages, the proceeds of which will benefit the Mission!  You all can make a HUGE difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate than ourselves during these difficult economic times by doing a relatively small thing, buying a frozen turkey.  I hear Safeway has them on a buy one get one free deal!

See you all on Sunday and God bless you for helping out with this cause!

Velasco's Dine and Donate is Tomorrow (November 5th!)

Hope to see all of you at the Dine and Donate tomorrow, Thursday, November 5th.  Go to Velasco's at the corner of Kentucky and Washington in downtown Petaluma and have a delicious Mexican meal and they will donate a portion of their proceeds to the Redwood Gospel Mission.  There is NO FLYER NECESSARY!!  Just tell them that you are there for the Mission or the Turkey Party - either will work!  We are super excited to be able to participate in this event!

We are also in countdown mode for the Turkey Party!  11 days and counting!  We have a lot of great restaurants participating and your donation of a frozen turkey and support of our participating vendors will do SO MUCH to help feed those in this county that are truly struggling during these difficult economic times.

Thank you all - every bit we do helps!

Velasco's Dine and Donate!

Good Morning! 

Just a quick update to let you know about Velasco's Dine and Donate Night for the Mission!  It's going to be November 5th all day!  Go to Velasco's at the corner of Washington and Kentucky in downtown Petaluma and bring a flyer, (which I'm working on!) and they will donate 20% of that day's proceeds to the Mission!  What a great way to start out this season of giving - a fabulous Mexican dinner for you and yours and the knowledge that you are helping someone else have a meal they wouldn't ordinarily have!

Thanks so much you all for your generousity!

I love this town!

I just do!  Petaluma is full of caring people so willing to help out a great cause!  My update this week is that we have donors!  Lots of them!  Dempseys, Real Doner and Beyond the Glory all have said that they will donate food for the Turkey Party this year!  And, for the first time in Turkey Party history, Velasco's has offered to do a fund raiser day for the Mission!  November 5th, eat out at Velasco's and they will donate a portion of their proceeds to the Mission!  How AWESOME is that??!!  Go to these restaurants - they are GOOD people!!!  Next time you all are having lunch or dinner at any of these terrific restaurants, thank them for supporting the Turkey Party and the Mission!

The Jewelry Queen is Coming to the Party!

Great news!  My wonderful friend Janelle, the queen of jewelry is going to be at the Turkey Party, selling her wonderful necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. and donating a portion of her proceeds to the Mission!  Come prepared to shop as her jewelry makes excellent Christmas gifts (I know this from personal experience).  Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we plan this event - we would like the 2009 Thanks4Giving Turkey Party to be bigger and better than last years.  We know the need is as great or greater this year!  Thanks so much for your support!
