The Galleria at Crystal Run will once again be hosting the Night of Giving.
WHAT IS IT?
The Night of Giving is a special shopping event to kick off the holiday season. The Galleria will stay open late, and ticket holders will have access to exclusive store discounts, special values, and fabulous prize giveaways.
WHEN IS IT?
Sunday, November 14, from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

We sell the tickets for $5 each, and all the proceeds from our ticket sales will go directly to our church's Capital Campaign. As the time gets closer, you can check the Galleria’s Web site to see what stores are involved. Remember, you need tickets to get the discounts.
Many people participated last year; they got great deals and had a great time. We hope you will put the date and time on your calendar and come again. Please tell your friends and watch for more details. Tickets will be available in October.

Mission: To participate in building a house for a family
Bridges to Community (http://www.bridgestocommunity.org) organizes and facilitates international, cross-cultural service trips for volunteers to live and work in materially poor communities. They currently focus their work in Nicaragua, and this year, they expect to take nearly 1,000 volunteers in over 50 groups to participate in development projects with our community partners there.
BRIDGES - Community Construction
Safe and secure housing is a basic human right. Bridges has developed a sustainable housing project that meets this right, while simultaneously creating pride and a sense of ownership. To be sustainable in Nicaragua, we need to build earthquake-stable houses based on local building techniques. In combination with tile floors and a non-leaky roof, a Bridges house becomes a dignified, safe, and healthy home for a Nicaraguan family. For the sustainability of the project, and to avoid dependency-forming charity, we collect housing payments that equate to about half of the real value of the house. Thos payments enter revolving community funds that go towards other housing or community-centered projects.
