Go-Time

Yes Friends - the time is upon us for trivia!!!!!!!! I know some of you are up late cramming in last minute facts. :) Looking forward to seeing all of your bright faces tomorrow for what is sure to be a wonderful evening. We are expecting a FULL house tomorrow night - so flexiblity and patience are appreciated. Remember, we are not trivia professionals or even professional party planners (though we can throw good parties and do score well when we have played trivia!) - we are just good friends trying to do something nice for our good friends and their baby boy.

Important information:
all team contacts were sent a reminder email today, if you didn't get one - maybe you are not officially registered with me?? As I said before - we are QUITE full, so I appreciate knowing ahead of time of any last minute additions to make sure we have a place for them.

Church is St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Bettendorf - 4097 18th Street. There is a Mass service which will be letting out at 5:30, which is going to make for some interesting preparations. We appreciate your arrival at or after 6:15, when we will be opening the doors. I believe there is lots of parking in and around the church.

Donations, donations, donations....we have been OVERWHELMED the generous donations sent by people - monetary, along with items for auction, raffle. I am really hoping we can have an engaging and fun silent auction going on the 50+ silent auction items. Keep in mind that a lot of thought, effort and hard work went into acquiring these items for your consideration and all the $$ goes directly to the Pruitt family (after being matched by Modern Woodman, of course). So please take a look and consider making a bid. I know times are tight for everyone, so imagine what it must be like having to make weekly trips to the hospital in Iowa City and paying for daily chemotherapy medicine that is not covered by insurance....that is the reason we are doing this all!

EAT UP @ the concession stand! Pat & Jane have been in the kitchen on these hot days, working in overdrive to prepare their special goodies and they keep fretting no one will like them. We can all agree that for tomorrow night - calories do not count, when consumed for a good cause!

I am out to rest up for what is sure to be a fabulous time tomorrow!
