Turning Love Into Power II

Supporters of the RE Children’s Project are throwing a Valentine’s party in honor of the Wohlberg family and their daughter Grace, who suffers from the rare childhood neurological disease of Rasmussen Encephalitis (RE).  The community is rallying around the family to provide the best possible gift, the gift of love, which in turn, is channeled into power by raising funds to support research into finding a potential cure for this devastating disease. 

The Turning Love Into Power II benefit will be held Saturday, February 11, 2012, at the Woodway Country Club in Darien, Conn.  Information about the event as well as sponsorship opportunities can be found online at www.REChildrens.org or by calling 203-316-0369 or emailing swohlberg@rechildrens.com. The evening will feature jazz by The Faker Five, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, carving stations, and in honor of the upcoming Valentine’s Day, a fine selection of sweets.  Guest speaker is Dr. Frances Jensen of Children’s Hospital Boston, and president of the American Epilepsy Society.  Tickets are $135 per person.  Last year’s inaugural event was completely sold out, so those interested in attending and supporting the RE Children’s Project are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance.
