You're invited to Desta's Adoption Fundraiser on August 28.

Join our family for an open house and Southern Living At Home fundraiser for our daughter Desta. We need to raise $8,300 to bring Desta home. We leave September 11. Wherever you live, please join us! Click  to RSVP through Facebook.

Friday, August 28 — 6:30pm – 9:30pm
Stephen and Kari Kolmetz’s Home at 13736 Silverberry Place, Colorado Springs, CO

We’ll have drinks, food, and hopefully new pictures and video of Desta to share with you.

Here are three ways you can help:

1. Buy some great Southern Living At Home items and we’ll receive 50% of your total purchase.

2. Melodie is going to make up her cakebites, and take orders for $25/dozen.

3. You can write a check or donate cash at the party. Or give online right now via PayPal at http://www.tinyurl.com/desta-fund.

You can participate in all three ways even if you live out of town. To buy Southern Living At Home from Kari, e-mail her at karikolmetz@yahoo.com to get a catalog and make your order. Email Melodie directly about the cakebites at melodie111@gmail.com.

Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support through this time. The funds raised on this night will help purchase our plane tickets and land package, and also cover in-country expenses, Desta’s visa, and other international fees.

Thank you, and we hope to see you on the 28th.
