The people of Haiti need our help.  Even just a month after the devastating Earthquake that ripped through the poverty stricken country, patients still need medical care, there continues to be a short supply of clean drinking water, children continue to search for their parents (or just a sense of belonging).  The list goes on. 

Much effort has been made & achieved through nationally known charities - the Red Cross, UNICEF, the Bush/Clinton Foundation, etc.  However, our own locally-tied organizations also need the assistance.  That is why the Horne United Methodist Church's Haitian Disaster Relief effort has been chosen for this fundraiser. 

Prior to the Quake, Horne UMC built and ran an orphanage for abandoned Haitian children and it was a ministry of the heart for them.  Many years went into the planning & much money was raised to build, staff, and maintain the orphanage.  The Quake destroyed all that.  Now, Horne's mission is to provide medical assistance where the need is most dire.  With the help of local Rotarians, community members, and the team from the nonprofit organization, Bahamas Habitat, which is flying supplies & medical personnel to the reegion, Horne UMC continues their efforts despite the loss of their beloved orphanage.

Tweet Divas want to help! 

Therefore, for the first time since the inception of Tweet Divas (aka "Triangle Ladies Who Tweet"), we will be charging an admission charge with ALL proceeds* going to Horne United Methodist Church's Haiti Disaster Relief Fund.

A raffle filled with varioius prizes is also in the works, again with the money raised also solely going to the Fund.

Join us on Tuesday, February 23rd for a night of networking at Hi5 in Downtown Raleigh.  Meet the Ladies with which you Tweet, get reaquainted with those you have already met, and give back to this very worthy cause.

Hope to see YOU on the 23rd!
