Saturday morning guests enjoyed some of Harrisonburg's finest coffee, donuts and other pastries at Gemeinschaft's 'Dollars for Donuts' fundraiser (photos by Greg Versen, a Gemeinschaft supporter and a member of the planning group).

| Everyone was impressed by the original songs composed and performed by Gemeinschaft residents--with the help of Rebecca Kenega (on the right) of Amplify Music and some great JMU student volunteers. The German word Gemeinschaft means community. |

| John Butler, Resident Life Coordinator at the Gemeinschaft Men's House (and a graduate of the program) was one of the planners of the event and inspired the group with a brief presentation. He graduates with honors from Mary Baldwin University this Sunday. |

| Rebecca Kenega of Amplify Music, also a part of the planning group, really helped make this event possible. |
Gemeinschaft owes special thanks to Community Mennonite Church for making their space available, and to local businesses for donating coffee, donuts and other pastries, along with a host of donor appreciation door prizes. Generous community support made it possible for every dollar of the over $4000 raised through Saturday's event to go toward the purchase a much needed van to replace Gemeinschaft's aging and ailing vehicle.
