It was a busy August 15th weekend as two Heart to Heart tournaments took place. One was the Sand Volleyball tourney with teams competing in the sand at Athletic park. The other was the 8th Heart to Heart miniature golf tournament held again at the Chisholm retail mall. A great time was had by all.

A Brand new vending machine was donated by a bulk vendor and friend of Heart to Heart from Houston, Texas. He knows how important raising funds for the Center is. Through

his generosity, more money can be raised to help the children of our community. He prefers to remain anonymous, but has donated before to the Center and is very supportive on Heart to Heart's mission.

Another bulk vendor out of Kentucky also has been supporting Heart to Heart by providing a percentage of what he sells on Ebay through a program called Mission Fish. If you are an Ebay seller, perhaps you too would like to donate a portion of your sale to Heart to Heart. Simply follow the easy instructions on Ebay and look up Heart to Heart Child Advocacy Center in the Non profit section. Heart to Heart currently has seen three individual providing funding to Heart to Heart through the Ebay sales.

Murder on Maui
Murder Mystery Dinner
May 3rd, 2008 at 6:30 PM
VFW 1610 S.E. 3rd, Newton

You are invited to one of Harold Logan's (in) famous luaus. Get ready to party on, but know this: Trouble is brewing for Mr. Logan. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to solve a murder (or two). We want you to be fully involved in the experience so please come in Hawaiian costume and in character, perhaps you are a world renowned hula dancer? It's optional of course but it will enhance your whole experience. Use you imagination and get ready to have fun!! Program starts at 6:30 PM, meet your primary suspects. Get into detective mode as you have a cocktail (cash bar), or not, and enjoy the appetizers. Be prepared, anything can happen at any time.

UPDATE
If you didn't make it to the VFW for this one, make sure to get there next year. The place was packed, the food was great and the acting was nothing short of spectacular. Best part of all, Heart to Heart raised the most amount of money it ever has in a single fund raiser. There have been many requests for another program, plans are in the works and a mystery is being sought.
Thank you everyone for being in the play, helping with the play and coming to the play.

The taste of Newtonis a great time to be down town. All kinds of foods take over down town Newton. More food then you can imagine. You'll probably bump into people you haven't seen in a long time. Chat a little, eat a little and then eat some more. One booth that has been at the Tasteof Newton, for a number of years, is the booth of Heart to Heart. Unbelievable cheesecake. We have been told it is so good that New York has nothing over us. "Cheesecake to die for". Each cheesecake is fresh and made from a secret family recipe (and that family just so happens to have roots in New York City, go figure). Look for the white tent with Heart to Heart on it. Got to get there early if you want to get some of this wonderful taste treat. Heart to Heart has been known to sell out in less then two hours.

The South Subway restaurant of Newton continues to support Heart to Heart Child advocacy Centers. Our heart felt thanks goes out to Bev Donker, manager of Subway on S. Main in Newton, District manager, Levi Julian and Owners Rottinghaus Inc. for allowing us to place donation boxes in the Subway restaurant.

EL Toro of Newton also has been a great supporter of Heart to Heart and has a donation box located by their cash register.

If your business would like to take part in our donation box fund raiser, please contact Marlene at the Newton Heart to Heart Office. We will put your name on the box and place your business on our web page. What a great way to help Heart to Heart and to show how your business is concerned about the children of our community

It was the great down town Newton Chili Cook Off. The event was a fund raiser for the Harvey County United way. Non-Profits were asked to bring there best brew of chili and compete in the cook off. Heart to Heart was there. Jodie Beeson provided Heart to Heart with her special chili. Karen served it up and a load of folks stopped by to sample the goods. If you missed this event this year, then watch for it again next year. It was lots of fun and raised some money for the Harvey County United Way.
