Time to get decadent.

Had it with Boston weather, brand-name hipsters, bad news, and the same music you heard last week and the week before? For a donation of $15 (or just whatever you can manage) you can spend Sunday afternoon the 28th (tomorrow!) in an Eastern fantasy paradise! Hafli for Haiti will transform the Dilboy VFW post in Davis Square into the hottest bellydance party in town from 3:00 to 6:30. Take in some gorgeous performances, shop at a bazaar of local vendors, pick up some fresh-baked goodies to bring home, get a Tarot reading, and let yourself be tempted by a tantalizing array of prizes - all for the benefit of Partners in Health, who are working miracles for the sick and injured in Haiti and have been for over 20 years. Our friendly VFW bartenders will be on hand to keep your thirst under control, so join us at the hottest spot in town!

Is there any information on this that isn't on facebook, for those over-40 luddites like me who just get a "must login" page off your link?

The January 12 earthquake in Haiti brought to the already struggling people of that country a disaster of unimaginable humanitarian proportions, a disaster that will only grow in the days, weeks, months and even years to come. As individuals it's hard to know what we can do to help. But together, as a group, we can be more than any one of us alone, by pooling our skills and resources to give more than each of us is capable of giving alone.
