Help Locate Everyone for the 10th Anniversary Celebration

10th Anniversary Celebration:  Sunday, August 28th   4 - 6 PM 
 
at One Heart: 59149 140th St. Roland, IA
Hi Gang;
I have this lovely picture of Rosie, Kyle and Shane printed as an invitation postcard.  I used my handy dandy PhotoShop to turn one of my fuzzy pics into this fresco.  I think it is coooool. 
Right now I am putting together a mailing list for the invitations.  I opened an old folder titled "Historic Mailing Lists"  This goes back to 2001!   MANY,MANY, MANY of our volunteers, as students, have moved far and wide since their contributions to One Heart.

Can you help me find them?   There were 250 volunteers in our 2nd year!   Can you imagine how many total?   Other than a mailing list of a kajillion.......I only have very OLD addresses.  Most defunct.
So, if you have kept track of friends, neighbors, roomates, relatives, church members, town folk, high school buddies that came to One Heart - let me know I am looking for them :)

Here's the deal......if you would like a postcard invitation, I can mail it to your postal address IF I have it.
2.  If you see this and don't need a mailing, please send me an email that you have heard about the party.  3.  If you could let me know if you can come or not that would be nice, since we are rounding up ice cream and the works right now.

By the way, if you think Facebook would help  try that.  We have a FB page.  We just need friends.  It is not a "group" page but a regular page.  I think it is listed as a "place".  I'm not the FB-master....I am just trying to catch on.   The FB page is One Heart Equestrian Therapy. 

Now for the goodies!!!!!!   Maureen will be at the party and is dying to catch up with you all.  Reading through the mailing lists of old, I know how much you have all contributed and how much we miss seeing you.  You might be interested to know how many names are on the old lists and we still have them 'hanging around' - joyfully!!!
The silent auction is featuring ISU stuff such as football tickets, football and basketballs signed by the coaches, a Seabiscuit movie poster, books, dining certificates, etc, etc.  Have to come see!
This is open to riders, their families, volunteers, their families, donors and friends, their families, supporters, their families, group home staff, well.....our buddies!
More....

We are going to miss some of our friends from BITS (Best in Iowa Traces Society) since their summer show is that weekend in Webster City.  Several other of our stalwart supporters have weddings, reunions, vacations, and other activities.  They have emailed in their regrets. 
Others will be there with bells on!   Instead of a boring  program, (me) rambling, rambling we are setting up different stations featuring our different activites;  Instructors, the Fjord Project, Special Olympics, The Old Days,  One Heart through the Years, etc.  You may drift around and see pictures and other items of the events.  
One Heart is about YOU.   Hope to see YOU!   Please Help circulate this notice.  Thanks, Kris
Ice Cream Social and Silent Auction.
