Special Olympics - Jolly Jaunt

So yeah! The Jolly Jaunt is this weekend!! If you would like to donate to this worthwhile cause, click the link shown above.

I need everyone to bring me their cash donations by Friday. If you are walking, then I need you to show up at 11:30 this weekend. I will already have your money on Friday and can register us as a team. It's worked out very smoothly the past few years.

Alumni - you are welcome to attend with us. I just ask that if you attend, you raise the $35.00 entry fee. Please comment here or send me an email if you are planning to be part of the team. Oh, you could also register for our team online at the link above.

Won't it be cool to raise more money than TMLP this year????

Hoping for a blow-out (in donations - not my tires) :)

Thanksgiving Reminders....

Hey all. As Thanksgiving approaches, I thought it might be nice if we share a memory that touches each one of us about Thanksgiving. How about it?

My memory of Thanksgiving? When I was a kid - yeah, younger than you guys, I remember going to my grandmother and grandfather's house. I loved it so much because we all got to eat at the big dining room table. I felt so "fancy" eating there. We ate on my nana's china (which I own today) and I loved being with my cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. The highlight of the day? Playing Pokeno. I felt so grown up playing that game. It's like bingo with playing cards. I wish so much that I soaked in more of the memories while my family were alive and well. It seems like many of them are gone now and I'd give anything to see them again. Advice? Hug your nanas and grandpas, aunts and uncles, moms and dads, and really let these experiences sink in and count your blessings. :) Okay, I'm off my soap box.

What are your memories?

Talent Show full of surprises!

Wow! What a talent show we had, huh? Thanks to the help of the officer team, the members, administrators, teachers, faculty and staff! This event just keeps getting bigger and bigger every year. Even some of the alumni that came to watch, ended up helpng out. I thank you all for that! (you know who you are.)

So what's the next thing in store for us? The Jolly Jaunt, of course! Don't forget to register for our team at jollyjaunt dot org. So far Bobby Stephanian has collected the most money and will be winning my prize! When you guys see your family for Thanksgiving, you can hit them up for some donations. Who wouldn't want to give a donation to the Special Olympics?? The Special Olympics Motto is, "Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." Words maybe we can all live by?

Until next time.....
