Donation Presentation - D.A.V.E.
On January 11,2017 our Hampshire Family (13 of us represented), joined at Uncle Bud's home to present our 2016 yearly HFF annual gift. This year's recipient was D.A.V.E. (Drug Addiction oVerdose Education) and 2 of it's members were with us to receive the donation in memory of Nicholas. As you see in the picture with Maureen and Bud, there is a check for $6800.00, but we actually handed them a little more and some late donations are still coming in. D.A.V.E. was founded to reduce the stigma of addiction and minimize overdoses by providing lifesaving education, support and opportunities.
Again, our family trying to make this world a better place, one gift at a time. This year just hit home a little harder than most.

On January 7, 2017 Mary Beth and John were again gracious hosts for our annual Christmas Party. It always a great time when we are gathered for our year end (or beginning) celebration. Our youngest HFFer, Dylan, entertained with some music on a piano that began the musical life of many of our members when it resided in the home of our Matriarch, Kate.

A group of us gathered and met with Sharon, Kyle's mother, to make our donation to the 'Kisses for Kyle Foundation', our 2015 chosen charity.
