La Posada and Helen of Troy are sponsoring a fundraiser this Thursday evening, at Gonzalos Restaurant, on Nevada Street. Fun starts at 5:30 p.m.
La Posada will receive part of the proceeds from the $40.00 tickets, which will buy you some yummy tapas
but this is what is really cool: you get to hear author Reyna Grande (Across a Hundred Mountains) read from her new book Dancing with Butterflies, which you get to take home
and you get to see a performance by Ballet Foklorico of El Paso too.
All around, a pretty nifty deal, especially since this wonderful homeless shelter will get a much needed boost!

Here is an update and a contact gal for this event. As is plain, I come up short on posting all the info, when I make my own pitch for these events Please consider going; the work these people at La Posada do for folks is invaluable! Final Pre-Registration TODAY for A Grande Night!!
Dear Friends,
As THIS Thursday night inches closer, we need to determine an approximate attendance count for A Grande Night!!. Please seriously consider giving of your time and support to La Posada Home, Inc. by purchasing tickets at $40 each for yourself or others you know will enjoy our presentation by award-winning author Reyna Grande. You may also prefer to make a one-time direct donation to the organization as the Holiday season is practically upon us.
Please remember that La Posada Home, Inc. is a long term shelter providing transitional housing of up to 18 months for homeless families who may be facing domestic violence, or other familial disruptions. La Posada Home provides a safe and secure living environment for parents to rebuild their lives and chart a positive future for their families based on self sufficiency, increased self-esteem, parenting skills, education and job skills. Upon completion of the program, La Posada case workers help the families identify and acquire an affordable residence with basic furnishing needs and possibly short term rental assistance until they are back on their feet.
Join us on Thursday night as we celebrate the over 20 years of work by La Posada Home, Inc. through the reading of Dancing with Butterflies by Reyna Grande and share in our cultural traditions of Folklorico dancing, good Mexican food and supporting our community in order to give back to those who are less fortunate than ourselves.
Thank you for your time and consideration of my request. Please RSVP today on Facebook or call La Posada to reserve your tickets at 544-4595 or you can call me at 613-7211.
mil gracias!!
