Tickets are still available for the Gems and Java fundraiser coming up next weekend.

WOODSTOCK - The 8th annual Gems and Java is happening again this year.

The local fundraiser is being put on by Mothers With A Heart For Ethiopia.

Executive Director Shelley Green says it is a fun event to attend, but it is also has a purpose.

"It's a fun event but it's a really meaningful event because it gives people the opportunity to donate to and support the work that we're supporting in Ethiopia for women and children."

In addition to supporting a great cause, Green says there is a lot of activities that guests can look forward to when they attend, including a silent auction and light refreshments and beverages.

"We're making a tremendous difference in women's and children's lives in Ethiopia through the projects that we support there. And at the event, our guests have the opportunity to hear a short presentation about the projects that we're involved with, the projects that they're making a difference through being involved with Gems and Java and making donations and we also offer so many other aspects at the event; Bags and Bobbles boutique, a great silent auction, Ethiopian marketplace, Ethiopian coffee ceremony, delicious food and there's just a lot going on. It's just a great, fun event."

The event has been a successful fundraiser in the community, raising over $90,000.00 last year. 

Tickets cost $50.00 each. They can be purchased at Merrifield Book Shop or you can go online. Tables can be reserved as well but they must be bought in a group. 

Gems and Java will be at Cowan Park, happening on April 12th from 7:00pm to 10:00pm and on April 13th from 1:30pm to 4:30pm.
