LEGACY SOCIETY EVENT A HUGE SUCCESS
Over 75 people attended the 2nd annual Legacy Society Dinner which was held August 7, 2008 at the lakeside home of Sarah and Fritz Hildebrand with entertainment provided by members of the Xavier High School Jazz Band.
The event was attended by current and future Legacy Society members to learn of the progress of the Endowment Fund and how it helps LEAVEN provide services to the needy of the Fox Cities. Currently there are 130 active members in the Legacy Society.
Featured speaker, LEAVEN founder Fr. Robert Udulutsch, spoke on the strides made by LEAVEN in serving the poor and the less fortunate through the Endowment Fund.

2008 Spring Fling Luncheon for Volunteers
In honor of volunteer week, all LEAVEN volunteers were invited to be special guests at the Spring Fling held on May 7th at the Girl Scout Program Center near Bubolz Nature Center. The potluck dinner afforded great food from the kitchens of the talented LEAVEN chefs. Two members of For A Reason, a local band, provided entertainment. A great time was had by all. We'll do this again next year, so look for your invitation in the Spring.
King's Daughters Annual Luncheon
The public was invited to attend a luncheon, auction, and raffle of estate jewlery and fashion accessories to benefit the thousands in need in the greater Fox Valley area. We would like to thank the KIng's Daughters for hosting this sucessful event and for their past support of LEAVEN and our clients.
The King's Daughters is a philanthropic service-oriented organization with eight circles in the Fox Valley. The circles work both individually and together on various service projects in the community and raise thousands of dollars each year that are donated to local non-profit programs. The circles have a long history of supporting LEAVEN and, in particular, the LEAVEN Needy Children's Fund.
