WOW
! What a great time for a fantastic cause. Its really when we get to see the people we are trying to help face to face. Sammy and his mother Julie were so grateful. She was worried he might not even make an appearance, but not only did he stick around thanking people all day, he was inspired to go BOWLING for the first time in months
! This family is an inspiration for us all. Thank you all for coming out for this event. You guys ROCK
! And a big thanks to Mardi, she really spoils us at these events..........old proud tony kenobi
here is a note from Mardi;
"Tony, hope that everyone had a great time. Wow! what an event! people were still dropping by to donate after we all had left! I'll get you a grand total for all of the donations. The days take was about $1855. It's still being calculated....people were also just handing Julie money that we didn't know about! It was kind'a like that movie, "It's a Wonderful Life". The town sure turned out! Give my best to the Troops. Partnering with you has been great. Email me about the next promo at Christmas. I've already started stirring the waters on this one.
Remember......we've got 10/30 event together! save those old blankets and towels! I think I'll stop by Goodwill and grab a couple bags of towels and get the pool table looking full. I'll call Petco and Keizer Feed to see if they have more to donate and then put some advertising up for them."and an article in todays statesman can be found here;
