Parent Resource Network planned for several months a large-scale event at the Omni William Penn Hotel far from any idea that a economic crisis was about to occur across the nation. Today adjustments have been made to still welcome those that are interested to attend, but are feeling a little tight around the wallet.
Come and enjoy a casino evening with music, dancing and a range of auction items for every guest. The ticket price has been cut in half, formal/business attire welcome, and a variety of ways (large/small) to help support a worthy cause.
Saturday, January 17, 2009 from 8:00pm-midnight at the Omni William Penn Hotel (Grand Ballroom.) Two special guests will be honored for their personal care for two local boys in the Pittsburgh area; Dr. Jessica Henry and Mr. Roger Oxendale.

Thank you Mike for posting Parent Resource Network's event.
Often I see your bloggers talk about the economy. I have to say as a nonprofit that we are ALL hurting today. We are all having a really rough time raising funds and in our case we are getting more and more demand for services. It is a very difficult situation for all of the nonprofits and the families we serve.
This event is critical to our success and anyone that is interested in attending and raising money for a great cause we still have some tickets available. We have about 175-200 attending. Omni William Penn, casino gaming, food and dancing for $50! Thanks again Mike for helping us get the word out.
