As always, special thanks to Jim Wildermuth of ArTech Photography for donating his time and talents to the Trust Fund.

Thanks again to everyone who came out for our Evening for Economic Justice last night. The dinner was a huge success! Turnout was great, the food was yummy, and the speakers were inspiring.

Borrowers like Dawn Farm and Architectural Salvage Warehouse of Detroit make our work worthwhile, so we would like to thank James Balmer and Carolyn Mosher for sharing their stories with us last night. We fund some amazing projects throughout the State of Michigan, but none of this would be possible without the support of our investors and equity contributors like Biff Elliott, Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Monroe, Michigan, and Joan McDonald. While Mr. Elliott was unable to join us at Focus: HOPE last night, we wish him a speedy recovery, and thank his family for speaking on his behalf.

Finally, we would like to thank out Patron Sponsors one last time for their financial support of the Evening for Economic Justice: MSHDA, Great Lakes Capital Fund, and Comerica Bank.

We'll have pictures from the dinner next week, so make sure to check back!

The Evening for Economic Justice dinner is tonight in Detroit, and in case anyone lost the map we sent them in the invitations, you can print out driving directions to Focus: HOPE here.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone there tonight. Drive safely!

Our Evening for Economic Justice Dinner is tomorrow, and we're looking forward to seeing everyone at Focus: HOPE in Detroit. Here's the rundown for tomorrow evening's program:

We will be hearing testimonials from two of our borrowers tomorrow night: James Balmer, President of Dawn Farm, and Carolyn Mosher, President of Architectural Salvage Warehouse of Detroit. Afterwards, the Trust Fund will honor Biff Elliott, a long-term investor, Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Monroe, Michigan, and Joan McDonald, an Equity Contributor.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!
