Benefit Party For Mark Kloter
Benefit Party For Mark Kloter
OCTOBER 25 7:00 11:00 PM
Hello Friends. As most of you already know, Mark and his siblings lost their mother recently, as well as their father a few years ago. With both of them gone, it is Mark’s desire to remain in his childhood home. In addition to assuming the remaining balance of the mortgage, he also needs to make numerous repairs and renovations in order to make the house a home again.
Mark is always the first one to lend a helping hand, either in labor or financially, but now he is the one in need. As he heads into his slow season at work, he needs our help to give him a leg up and to help with all the repairs and everyday expenses that come with taking on home ownership. Please consider buying a ticket, even if you can’t attend, so that we can help this incredibly kind and generous person through a very tough time.
