VOVA Fundraiser/Christmas Party set for December 2 at 419 Restaurant

Despite the sad news, we are going forward with out big Fundraiser this Friday night at the 419 Restaurant from 6:30 - ? Hope everyone can come out. If you are going to the basketball game, come on over after the Knights win! See you there!

A Blue Christmas

Well, we were hoping Vova would be able to stay with us over Christmas, but it looks like that won't happen. The Kherson region cancelled all hosting from their orphanages. Seems the officials thought there was too much hosting and adoptions so they decided to pull back. Concerns about "child trafficking". How absurd but these are the unforseen things we have to be ready for on this Ukranian rollercoaster. Hopefully, we will be able to get back to the Ukraine in February to bring Vova home

Christmas of Hope Fundraiser for Vova set for December 2, 2011

On December 2, 2011, a Christmas party/fundraiser will be held at the 419 Restaurant in Roanoke starting at 6:30 p.m. and featuring the live music of Corey Hunley. There will be food, drinks, and a lot of fun and Christmas cheer. All money raised, as well as a portion of the proceeds from food and drink purchases, will be used towards the costs of adopting our soon to be son Vova, from a Ukranian orphanage. Please plan on attending this event and invite whomever you wish and make this a Christmas to remember for an 11 year old little boy. We hope you all can make it!
