Friends of El Faro

the annual friends of el faro fundraiser was tonight and it was a huge success. in the months leading up to this event, i have moments of doubt and worry. it's so much work and there are really only a handful of us truly committed to the cause. we do it all on our nights and weekends and there's so much depending on this one evening.

will we pull it off?
will we make enough to support the home for the next year?
is this still as much fun as it used to be?
is it time for me to move on to another cause?

and then the night arrives and as i look out into the crowd i realize the answers were there all along.

yes
yes
yes
hell no!

friends of el faro is an extension of my family. casa hogar sion is my home away from home. my role may change over the years but nothing will ever erase those facts. and anyone who knows me knows that family and home are the most important things in my life.

it feels good to be back.
