The Horizons Initiative Benefit For Homeless Children
Hosted by Domain, Inc.
Cambridge, MA. On Sunday, November 21, 1993, from 6-9pm, Domain will host a benefit evening for
The Horizons Initiative, a non-profit organization in its fourth year of providing homeless children with
opportunities for play. The event will take place after closing at the Domain store and in the mall common

entertainment, acoustic jazz music by Jimmy Neal and Al Henderson, and a silent and live auction.
Featured entertainers include the improvisational troupes, the On The Spot Singers, and the Foreign Film
Festival Actors; additionally, adults and children will enjoy meeting the Bill Clinton Look-A-Like, seeing a
magician, having their caricature drawn, having their future told by a fortune teller and more. Guests
making additional donations of $100 or more will receive Domain Dollars that can be used towards a
future Domain purchase. Certain restrictions apply.
During the evening, the public will be invited to bid on items at the silent and live auctions.
The silent auction will feature decoratively shaped topiaries that have been embellished by local celebrities

hosts Norms Abrams and Steve Thomas, Tom Bergeron and the WMJX Morning Team, WCVB-TV5
Anchor Natalie Jacobson, Boston Red Sox player Mo Vaughn, Boston Bruins and Patriots players and
more. Additionally, each topiary will be accompanied by a related gift item, like autographed sports
memorabilia, tickets or gift certificates. The live auction will feature a variety of desirable items including

and will not be available for sale.
Tickets to the event are $20 and can be purchased at Boston area Domain stores or by calling

Dear Judy,
This morning the Event Committee for The Horizons Initiative met at the home of
Barbara Eisenson to plan our spring event. Since many of us attended the "Domain
Event", the meeting naturally began with a discussion of the evening we all enjoyed.
As a committee, we are all looking forward to an Annual Domain Event!!! The
feedback was overwhelmingly positive. A sampling of the comments were:
"The children loved the activities and this is such a wonderful way for them to
be a part of a cause - just like their parents."
"The invitiation was beautiful and the message eloquent, SO let's make sure
they know it is for the whole family next year. Let's send less invitations and use
first class mail!"
"The food was delicious for the adults and children."
"I sure wish / had gotten the chair at the auction and let's make the topiaries
more visible - some people did not get to see them."
"Consider having the event one week earlier because of the Children's
Hospital event. And, families are so busy the week of Thanksgiving."
"Everything was fabulous!!!"
Judy, a special thanks to you and your enthusiastic and creative staff. Lisa was
extraordinary in organizing and executing all of the planning - and everyone will be
wearing their favorite "Domain - Horizons Shirt."
Best wishes to you and all of Domain for a wonderful holiday season. We will look
forward to seeing you at future events. Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 9, 1994.
Joan Sincerely, H. Donahue

The Horizons Initiative is dedicated
to providing programs and services
for homeless children.
The Horizons Initiative, an independent non-
profit organization, was founded in 1988. The
organization began as an idea of the creators of
Bright Horizons Children's Centers, a work-site
childcare corporation. Since then, several pro-
grams have been developed and implemented to
enrich the lives of homeless children in the
Greater Boston area.
The Horizons Initiative is the only organization in
Massachusetts that focuses exclusively on the needs
of homeless children. Because we work with fami-
lies, state agencies, shelters, advocates, educational
experts, and private sector child care providers, we
can bring many different types of expertise and
understanding to bear on the problems faced by
homeless children.
The Horizons Initiative is entirely supported by
