From the Executive Director

August 2018

Thanks to all of you who attended our annual Independence Day fireworks viewing party on July 4. We've had some feedback on how we can make it even better and because of that we have some changes planned for next year. We appreciate your continuing support and really love offering this unique and fun-filled fundraising event each year.
 
We’ve recently added an exciting new event to our schedule. The creators of Celebrity Doodles will hold an event featuring American Idol® Top Ten Finalist Ada Vox and Guests on Saturday November 3 as part of Palm Springs Pride weekend. This is a benefit for AAP – Food Samaritans and is a chance for you to see American Idol finalists Ada Vox, David Hernandez, and Effie Passero in person. For more information, see the article later in this newsletter.
 
We have set the date for our annual Jeannette Rockefeller Angel Program Kick Off Celebration – it is Sunday, October 7.  This important event is the official launch to our 2018-2019 season and an excellent time to renew your Angel status. Better yet, please consider renewing or joining the Angel Program today. August is one of the leanest months for us in terms of contributions, and it would be great if you could renew now. Please call our office at 760-325-8481 or click here to do so.
 
If you attended our Evening Under the Stars gala and made a pledge of support, thank you! If you intended to make a pledge but were unable to get it recorded, you may still do so – simply call our office at 760-325-8481 and we will gladly accept your donation.
 
As always, thank you for all you do to support AAP – Food Samaritans. 
 
Sincerely,
 
Mark Anton, Executive Director
