Tim's House Chinese Auction June 30, 2007




As Jeff Lynne of ELO once sang: "Hold on tight to your dreams!"
Carole Brazis demonstrated the power of such thoughts at Hambden Town Hall, on Saturday. "I had a dream to build a house for my son Tim Weed, so that he would always have a safe place to go," she said. "But I didn't know that someday, he would be gone by his own hand. Now, I want to build Tim's House in his memory."
Weed was well-known in the Chardon area. He passed away in 2006.
A Chinese Auction to benefit the cause drew many people from the surrounding communities. The event yielded a wide variety of donations, given by local businesses like Cooke's Marathon, Yangtze Chinese Restaurant, Main Street Cafe, and The New York Deli.
Brazis was overwhelmed with the generosity of the volunteers and guests who made the charitable auction a success. "Thank you for your attendance," she said. "And (for) support of Tim's House and the legacy of my beautiful boy."
The next Tim's House event will be a Golf outing on July 29th at Chardon Lakes Golf Course. Call 440.286.HOPE for further information.
The organization has a website with information and resources at: http://www.timshouseinc.com/
