Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

March 17, 2008 update

First of all, if you could all say a little prayer for my Mom in Phoenix. She has gone through two brain surgeries in the past two weeks, it would be much appreciated.

This week will be a busy one. My two darling nieces; Sara and Pari are coming Tuesday for 9 days from Guadalajara to visit. My sister Shawn, her husband Alex (my “Webmeister”, he’s German!), 5 year old nephew Prescott and my 10 month old goddaughter Aubree are coming Wednesday to spend Easter with us. A packed house but it will be great having family around. The only negative is Melanie broke her foot Thursday and is in a cast for 6 weeks. Boy, what a pair we are!

I’m doing OK, good days and bad days, but the fundraising really keeps me going. We have now surpassed $250,000 and with 4 events on the drawing board, 2 booked. We are excited about the future.

On April 30th, my good friend, (and best man in our wedding) Jim Terry from Coca-Cola is sponsoring a golf event at my club Creekside here in Salem. Dana Londin, our head PGA pro has spearheaded the event and it’s going to be a blast as well as a big fundraiser. Twenty of the top PGA pros in Oregon will be playing a 2 man alternate shot “shoot out”, securing pledges from members of their clubs. The event is open to the public with free admission and we have other things that will generate funds for ALS research that day. We’re all excited about it and can’t thank Dana enough for spending so much time on making it a success.

We have also secured a golf and auction event in Las Vegas on November 3, 2008 at TPC Summerlin, where they hold a PGA tournament. Keep checking for updates on the website for other events we are working on.

A few articles were written about my endeavor to raise money for ALS. They were well written. Please take a moment to read them.

I want to wish everyone a safe and Happy Easter Weekend.
In the spirit of St. Patricks Day an old Irish Proverb for you:
“May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live!”
