Dear Friends:

This year, Gryphon Place of Kalamazoo celebrates its 40th birthday! Yes, since 1970, we have been listening and responding to those in need. On February 11, 2010----or 2-11-----WKZO (AM590) will dedicate its day so that we can let people know that we are here 24/7 to listen and respond when life gets tough!

In addition, two area business owners have graciously agreed to host OPEN-HOUSES in our honor:

----------THE GREENERY SPA in Richland------------ and--------- CHOCOLA-TEA in Portage----------

Please join us at one or both locations between 10am-8pm. Fun, refreshments, and door prizes will be be part of this day! This "birthday party" is to spread the word about the compassionate programs of Gryphon Place and to raise funds for vital services.

At Gryphon Place, we help those who have no where to turn. Please help us by learning about what we do .... and supporting our efforts**!

Sincerely,

The Staff & Volunteers of Gryphon Place

**P.S. Anyone who contributes $30 or more by 8pm on 2-11 (via this site or at an open-house location) will be eligible to win the Grand Prize:A One-Night stay at Henderson Castle and a Greenery Spa Package for two !
