~ 8:30 to 11:00 a.m.
~ $15 minimum donation suggested
~ Cash or check made out to American Red Cross

Once again, the Ortbrings open their home @ 213 Harrison Street in Chelsea, Michigan, and invite us through the yellow door for a casual, scrumptious breakfast.

Yeah, yeah, you can sleep in... or you can make a DIFFERENCE and add your few dollars to a pile of other dollars. All together, we'd love to raise at least $1,000 for the American Red Cross' effort in Japan.
