More than 100 guests filled Bob and Wendy Schaffer’s Independence Township home to enjoy fine food from local restaurants, cocktails, fun, and festivities, Feb. 7, all for a good cause.
‘It’s amazing ? I love it,? said Wendy, in her and her husband’s second year of hosting Open Your Heart to Lighthouse. ‘Lighthouse is a great organization to work with.?
The annual event has raised over $300,000 total to support Lighthouse of Oakland County’s emergency relief and food bank efforts.
‘Lighthouse helps the community ? there’s a real need for it,? said Shaine Schindler, who will host next year’s Open Your Heart with her husband John at their home. ‘They have a great committee. They take the pressure off the home owners.?
The Steering Committee includes Tina Galley, Beth Kirchner, Rebecca McGovern, Heather Roeser, and Cindy Vella. ? Phil Custodio
