Russian River Sisters Aid Monte Rio Bombing Victim

Sisters seek donations for hate crime victim

June 15, 2004 -- Guerneville, CA.  The Russian River Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have begun a series of fundraisers to aid Parvoneh Leval, the Monte Rio woman who was seriously injured when she touched a gift wrapped bomb left on her car the morning of June 10.

"I am outraged that such an act of violence should strike someone in our community." said Sr. Barbi Mitzvah, president of the RR Sisters. "We began immediate fundraising efforts for Ms. Leval and her family. They are going to need a lot of support. We raised $725 with special auctions at our monthly Bingo game last Saturday. We have plans for more special fundraisers in the making." Sr. Barbi continued. "Anybody interested in making a donation for these special fundraisers may do so by going to our website www.rrsisters.org. There is a special donation button solely for this purpose, and all donations are 100% tax deductible."

The Russian River Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is a 100% volunteer driven 501 (c)3 non profit organization made up of men and women, gay, straight and bisexual dedicated to making their community a better place to live. The Sisters host and appear at hundreds of fund-raising events every year raising many thousands of dollars for many under-funded charitable organizations serving the Russian River Community.
