***Party With A Purpose; A benefit for the Martinsen and Roberts families featuring Simplified; Dixie's Tavern - December 3, 2009 - 7:30pm. Both families have children that were diagnosed with cancer. Unfortunately, the Martinsen family recently lost this bout as young Victoria passed away earlier this month. In addition to the emotional challenges each family is experiencing, there is a large financial burden to cover medical expenses. Although, there is no cover charge at the door, the Simplified organization is requesting that everyone come with a generous heart and make a donation. Several local merchants have donated gift certificates to raffle off for the event. For those unable to attend, please feel free to follow the links below to make a donation. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/victoriamartinsen * http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/oakleyroberts
