What makes home for each of us, and how can we find beauty and joy when home has been something so different? How can we think about home when many have lost theirs, or are in danger of being without one?</p><p>This fall, our storytellers will try to answer these questions in unique ways, while sharing their gifts to help families in need.</p><p>Tickets to the fundraiser benefit <strong>Family Promise of Linn County</strong> and includes entrance to the event, dinner, craft beer and wine, and can be purchased at <a href="http://www.familypromiseoflinncounty.org/events/stories-from-the-heart">www.familypromiseoflinncounty.org/events/stories-from-the-heart</a></p>
