Dinner With the Dowds

DINNER WITH THE DOWDS

A GENUINE SUCCESS

Sunday evening, April 27, brought together old friends of HFF. The tradition of a spaghetti dinner was renewed with great success.  More than 50 people attended the benefit to raise funds for the purchase of a 15-passenger bus for the Dowd Center. Pictures from the Past, created by Julie Lovegrove, played throughout the evening. A resident from 18 years ago shared about coming to HFF as a pregnant single mother and no place to live. Kim shared that she has a degree, is a credit analyst at a major bank, owns her home, and her son will graduate from high school in June and enter Shawnee State in September. There was not a dry eye at the event.
