Wellspring House | 302 Essex Avenue Since 1981, Wellspring
House has been helping families move out of poverty. Serving Cape Ann,
Wellspring embodies its mission by providing these services in a spirit
of hospitality:
Wellspring is delighted to announce a just-launched alternative to our “Under One Roof“ gala. Instead of holding one single event, we are promoting a series of smaller, more intimate fund-raising gatherings to be held in people’s homes, offices, or backyards around Cape Ann or in the Boston area. We hope that the more personal setting will encourage more people to get involved in supporting Wellspring’s work. We have several events planned already and we’re seeking more hosts. Could you possibly help? Here’s how it works: Decide on your event, whether it’s a sit-down dinner, cocktail party, a brunch, or even a cook-out. Make your guest list and decide how much you’d like each guest to contribute to attend. Contact Mimi Reeves, Wellspring’s Director of Development. She will help you coordinate your event by providing and printing invitations and helping you decide how you wish to share information about Wellspring House, whether by a video, a welcome by a staff member, or a brief talk by a program participant. We are very excited about this opportunity and look forward to working with you. For more information, please contact Mimi Reeves, 978-281-3558 ext. 302 or mreeves@wellspringhouse.org.
You can still register for the Gloucester Triathlon on August 9. Wellspring House will be one of three organizations benefitting. To sign up or learn more, please visit www.gloucestertri.com.
