Proceeds will be used to complete construction of a self-sustaining village in Chastenoye, Cap-Haitien, Haiti. The two-year project includes 100 housing units, 50 sanitation units, an artesian well, a community center, animal-rearing and agricultural projects, and two solar panel lights.
Called the Hope Friendship Village, it will provide housing for those who have been displaced by the earthquake, as well as those who are living in the disease-ridden, swamp area of Prolonge.
Delane Bailey-Herd, Food For The Poor’s Haiti project manager, will speak at the event.
There will also be a reception, dinner, entertainment and a silent auction for art and collectibles from the Caribbean and Latin America, designer jewelry, vacations, golf and dining packages.
Masters of ceremonies will be co-chairmen Tom Lorden, Pat Bachrodt and Peter Roche.
Committee members are Bachrodt, Father David Beauvais, William Clancy, Mike Delany, Brian and Missy Hand, Frank Haney, Msgr. Robert Hoffman, Danny Lorden, Tom and Nancy Lorden, Bob McLaughlin, Philip Nicolosi, Al and Terry Provenzano, Patti Rangel, Roche, Jody Schumacher, and Jerry Weber.
