Thanks to Gina Batie, Trish Brewster, and Andrea Garrett for working the sales table and being so gracious with their time and talents. Thanks to our incredible musicians Hugh Foley, Joe Baxter, Travis Fite, and Monica Taylor. And especially thanks to our friends, neighbors, and donors for coming together to create an atmosphere of love and generosity of spirit. It was a wonderful night.

Need a last minute Christmas gift with a purpose? Rise Up has a fresh batch of our Ghanaian Elephant Grass baskets. Each basket is hand woven, sells for $60, and the proceeds go right back to our current school project in Korea Dokapu, Ethiopia. This will be an online sale with local Tahlequah pick-up only. Please comment on the basket you want and we will reach out via messenger to arrange pick-up. Thanks in advance for your support and Happy Holidays from all of us at Rise Up. We will be posting more baskets as the week progresses, so stay posted! (fb)
