**Help Us Rebuild Our Community Restaurant After Devastating Flooding**

Dear Friends and Supporters, For over 20 years, Roses Family Restaurant has been more than just a place to eat; it's been a beloved cornerstone of our community. From family gatherings to special celebrations, countless memories have been made within our walls. Roses has prided themselves on serving delicious food, offering a warm atmosphere, and being a gathering spot for friends and neighbors. They are family. The owners of Roses have donated in 20 years back to the community every time they’re asked from: during Covid to feed essential employees, to our children’s youth sports and activities to organizations like Seymour Pink and that names only a few. Unfortunately, their journey took a heartbreaking turn when a devastating flood swept through our area, leaving our Roses (the new name is The Hangout) restaurant in ruins. They opened the new Rose’s location but still have the old Rose’s location which they were beginning to renovate. This second restaurant was planned to open in one month as The Hangout Bar & Grill. The water damaged everything they worked so hard to build, and our beloved establishment is now facing an uncertain future. In this trying time, we are reaching out to you—our loyal patrons, friends, and community members—to help rebuild. Your contributions will go directly towards restoring the restaurant, replacing equipment, and getting back on their feet so we can continue to serve you and bring joy to our community. In the meantime everyone can go to the new location which we have open but we need ALL our employees to be able to work. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. Your support will not only help us rebuild our physical space but will also allow us to continue our commitment to the community. With your help, we can rise from this setback and come back stronger than ever. Thank you for considering supporting Roses/The Hangout during this challenging time. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and look forward to welcoming the whole community back to our restaurant soon. In the meantime everyone can go to the new location which we have open but we need ALL our employees to be able to work.

With heartfelt appreciation, Alexis Rathbun

P.S. Please share this campaign with your friends and family. Together, we can turn this setback into a comeback!
