Strumm's party (for support network)

70s to 80s music

April 22, 2013 - John(Tiong)  invited Barbie and me to a concert at Strumm's - the event was something that Tim (Tolentino) and John were helping support. John had pledged for a few tickets, and that's how we got dragged into the picture.

I later found out that this party was for Light of Hope - a help . support organization organized by families of suicide victims. The idea being that they set this up to prevent suicides - a network of support to battle depression. Not everyone might consider this important - but families that have gone through this kind of trauma obviously find it important.

I forgot to ask how many years this support group has been working and helping others - but I'm just glad to know that there is such a group. The idea being that should there be a need for such... it is better to have them there than have someone consider the other option - one where there can be no return.

It is therefore no surprise to see these people... families who know the pain of losing someone to suicide, know how to enjoy life - if at least for one night.

This was a thank you to their friends and support network. To Barbie and me, it was just an evening to unwind, coming form work. I'm glad we went.
