Greetings!  ,
Randy Photo
Randy Nicklaus, President
 
  
We are honored to have been selected as a Finalist in The Chamber Awards Nonprofit of the Year category for 2013.  I am proud of our staff and volunteers for the work they do on our hotlines and in several community collaborations.  Those efforts make this recognition possible!  The announcement of the category winners will be held on May 7 at The Chamber Awards Luncheon.
  
It's time for our annual fundraiser - A Night in the Tropics - set for Saturday, April 27 at the Auto Museum.  Three hundred people will be having fun playing casino games, throwing rings around wine bottles, dancing and trying to get great deals on our silent auction items (see below).  Please join us.  Tickets are only $60 and include a food buffet (Klassic Katering) and complimentary beer/wine.  Best of all ... it's casual!  Thanks to Brandt Information Services as our Tropics Sponsor and many other wonderful businesses that support us and this event.
  
Tickets are available on our website at www.211bigbend.org where you will also be able to see a list of our sponsors and some featured silent auction items.  See you there!
