Hearts United with Haiti will host its fall fundraising banquet on Saturday, Oct. 21, at 5 p.m. at Weaver's Banquet Facility, 2610 N. Reading Road, Denver. Doors open at 5 p.m. The event will celebrate the past year of ministry in Haiti and share how God is working both in and through Hearts United with Haiti to serve the community there. In addition to buffet dinner, the event will include a slideshow, a video, and remarks from the founder of Hearts United with Haiti.

The guest speaker will be Matt Williams, creator and executive producer of "Roseanne" and co-creator and executive producer of "Home Improvement." His projects include television, movies, regional, and off-Broadway theater. He also teaches theater classes at Columbia University. Williams recently launched his newest project, "Glimpses: A Comedy Writer's Take on Life, Love, and All That Spiritual Stuff." A multimedia project, "Glimpses" consists of a podcast series, essays, public readings, lectures, seminars, and a book sharing the same title. The book is scheduled to be released in February 2024. The aim of "Glimpses" is to spark kindness, inspire hope, and celebrate goodness.

At the banquet, attendees may preorder copies of Williams' book, with proceeds going to support a collection of children's charities worldwide, including Hearts United with Haiti.

The event is free of charge. Donations will go toward a fund established to purchase a permanent location in Haiti to house the community center, which provides food, classes, events, sports, and more to the families and youths in the neighborhood.

Seating is limited, and preregistration is required by Thursday, Oct. 5, at http://www.heartsunitedwithhaiti.org/news-events.html. Table sponsors are also sought.
