Talk to Sydney H.!! 1 point per correspondence. The INTERNATIONAL DINNER for HEIFER INTERNATIONAL was a huge success this year!! We raised $2242.00!! After we pay the bills, we will send a check with 100% of the proceeds to purchase animals to send to communities worldwide and here at home. These animals provide milk, labor, wool, eggs, honey etc. to promote community sustainability. Recipients will be taught best practices for care. The firstborn of each animal gift will be passed to another family in the community. Check out heifer.org! We made authentic food from around the world and hosted the dinner for our local Broadway Community. Don't miss it next year! Photos by Ashley McHenry and Anneke Martin.
