Title: Great Live Music for a Great Cause!
Post by Brewcrew on Feb 13^th, 2007, 9:55pm

Many of you don't frequent the Meetings and Gatherings board, so I'm posting my last-minute reminder here.

Let's have a good time as we raise money for 4 Paws For Ability, a non-profit organization that trains Service Dogs for children with Autism.

Autism is: at once invisible and yet all encompassing. A world of black and white, of joy and sadness. A world of silence and at times deafening with its screams. It may affect only one family member but it touches all. A world of open and closed windows, of opportunities gained and lost. Autism simply is what it is...

KENDALL's K-9 CAUSE

Kendall is such a pretty little girl. Let's help her if we can folks. It would mean the world to her and to her parents.

Carol.

Am sending a check in the mail today for PAWS. what a great organization for a great cause & thank you for the CD you gave me at DavCon07 I listen to it while driving my almost new car> My dad is 78 and living in a elderly group home and gave me his 2002 chevy caviler with less than 16,000 miles on it for all I have and do for him I wanted a new car in next year or two so this will do.

I do appreciate the sentiment, all of you. Kendall isn't just some kid with autism. She's our guitarist's daughter, and a real sweetheart of a girl.

What I'm shooting for with this post, more than anything, is to have CH'ers in or near the SE Wisconsin area come out and see us. There are some fantastic items up for raffle and silent auction, not the least of which is an original watercolor by our own Patti Keller (pattik) and a stained glass mosaic garden orb by Pat Mitchell (mosaicwench). Also, lots of gift packages and gift certificates - some real bargains can and will be had.

As added incentive, for any CH'er that comes to the fund-raiser, I will buy you and your date your first drink.

Terry, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. And I'm glad you're enjoying the demo.

Bill

P.S. - Brewers pitchers and catchers report to camp in three days. Can spring be far behind?

You are a peach, Linda. My son is planning on making a live recording. I'll let you know how that turns out. If it's good, I'll burn a CD for you and send it your way.

Hey Bill - did you get a picture of Kendall with your thank you note?

I did, but we all know I'm challenged and have no clue how to post it. :-/

Maybe if everyone saw what a beautiful little girl she is - it would raise some more $ for her.

I'm shameless, I know, but this is a special cause for a very special little person.

Unfortunately, you hit it on the head, Cyndi. I'm only bright enough to deal with 4 strings.

Bless both your hearts, Lizzie and Pegg.

Is that a checkbook in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? [smiley=yikes.gif]

I talked with Julie, and she posted the "advanced sales with a credit card" question to the 4 Paws bulletin board. She hasn't yet received an answer. Plan on bringing your checkbook - if that changes, I'll let you know.

Lets hope the freezeng rain storm predicted for Friday and Saturday doesn't materialize. I hate driving in that weather, and I'd hate to see others not make this event too.

Keeping everything I possibly can, crosssed for good weather.

First consideration is to be safe. We'll all keep our fingers and tootsies crossed for a change in the forecast.
