Club 1982 in Gainesviille, Florida recently hosted a fundraiser for us. Four hard rocking bands raised nearly $300 in this December 2009 show. A big shout out to Ornate Escape, Call It Conflict, Anchor Arms, and Surfers on Acid. Look up their music on myspace and facebook.

The Tennis Clinic/Fundraiser was organized by the 8th grade class of the Austin Waldorf School to honor their teacher, Mr. Steven Roy. Many Austin Waldorf School parents and students contributed time and money to make this a success, including Fran Slaton, Adri Slaton, and Lisa Miller. The 8th grade class will continue to raise funds for Project Nepal throughout the rest of the 2009 school year.

Total Money raised: $1200
