Thank you for all your donations! Between our fundraiser on the 15th and the Wine Tasting at Vintage Berkeley we raised nearly $1000.00 for Haiti Relief. Half of the proceeds are going to the WHAT IF FOUNDATION in Berkeley who feed and educate children in Haiti.  The other half is going to DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS who are setting up makeshift hospitals in Haiti to treat the wounded. See their websites for more info on these great organizations.

Thank you!
