My mom Cheri Basham has been working with Marty Rock to renovate a place on Blue Lick Rd. in Okolona to open up a rehab/transitional house for Women. This is something that this community needs without a doubt! I myself have donated, purchased, and helped as much as possible because this is something that I feel is VERY important. It is VERY close to being open, but they were informed that in order to have as many women as they were planning to have they have to add some things that were not expected which is VERY costly. So we decided to have a haunted house (this place was actually considered 1 of the scariest places in Louisville - there are articles) and a fall festival. It will only be 1 day (date to be confirmed tomm but will either be one of the 2 weekends before Halloween). It will be open to the public. We are in high hopes it will consist of the haunted house of course, silent auction, chili dinner, kids games, bounce house, co****le and ping pong for adults, door prizes, cotton candy, popcorn, and snow cones, face painting/temp tattoos, a resource table for meetings, insurance, foodstamps, shelters, etc., vendor booths, and an outdoor movie after dark. Some of the stuff will be free and anything that costs will be a small amount, only because we are trying to raise the money needed to open, to have a fun event for families that are suffering from addiction, and to make people aware that Solid Foundations is there and opening soon. But we need as MANY volunteers as possible! This is going to take A LOT of manpower! I need people to dress up in scary costumes for the haunted house, people to run the games, people who can do face painting, and people to run the other booths. It would be AMAZING if any recovering addicts could volunteer to show people it is possible! Volunteers definitely do not have to be recovering addicts (meaning not an addict). There will not be any drugs alcohol permitted on the premises or anyone under the influence. This is going to be a very fun filled, clean, sober, creepy night! Please if anyone would like to volunteer, donate monetarily or products (for the auction/games/haunted house/chili dinner, knows of a vendor that would pay $20 to set up, or knows a company that would donate monetarily, items/gift cards for auction, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE inbox me, call/text 270-945-1670, or email me at solidgoals24@gmail.com
