We've checked and our records show that $730 has been received so far on line! That's terrific! It's really a creative and meaningful way to pay tribute to a favorite performer. Other VVAF artists, like Mary Chapin Carpenter and Bruce Cockburn, have fans that do the same thing. I had the privilege of leading the delegation that brought Patty to visit our programs in Vietnam and Cambodia. I was struck by how deeply Patty seemed to feel the plight of those around her, and by her quiet grace. Patty's been a wonderful advocate for our life-saving work, having done several concert tours, events, and featuring us, as you know, in her CD. I wanted to let you know that if any fans needed any additional info about our programs, or if they had any questions, please feel free to refer them to me. You are also welcome to put my info on the site if you'd like. And, if you decide to do this again next year, perhaps we can feature it on our web site ticker. Thanks again, Tara ******** Tara R.
