ESCONDIDO ---- The family of slain teen Amber Dubois will host a dinner on Sunday to formally introduce Team Amber Rescue, a search and rescue organization formed in her honor.

The money raised through the dinner and accompanying silent auction will go toward the organization to train volunteers, purchase a search and rescue dog and pay for local volunteers to travel to Texas to search for teenager Hailey Dunn, missing since Dec. 28.

Guest speakers will include Klaas Kids founder Mark Klaas, whose daughter Polly was kidnapped and killed in 1993; author and former Los Angeles prosecutor Robin Sax; and Capt. Robert Benton of the Escondido Police Department.

Tickets for the event are $30. It will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. Sunday at the Infusion Church, 777 W. Felicita Ave.

I am happy to read how the Dubois family took their tragedy and turned it in to something positive to help other families.

Me too, that is so uplifting. Since I cannot go to the dinner, I will send a donation. Thanks for the address for that.
