This is from Al:

I wanted to update you and give a couple of housekeeping chores to help make this event the best ever. First, here is an update, then the specifics

Meals:

There will be meals served, with all proceeds going to our event, Friday night dinner (630-8:30), Saturday morning breakfast (6:00-8:00), and Saturday Lunch (12:00-2:00). Dirty Dave’s is doing a spaghetti dinner Friday, the VFW is doing a pancake breakfast, and Red Robin is doing lunch. Each meal is only $5 and will be so good as to likely be nominated for a culinary award. Just saying!

So why lug in all that equipment (BBQ, stoves, coolers, ice, tables, utensils, dining ware, etc. when for only $15 you can have all your meals prepared and have a LOT more time having fun? Why, why, why? Besides, we could make well over $10,000 (ten thousand)by eating the great food being donated?

We must sell the tickets ahead of time to give the caterers an idea of how many people will be helping fight cancer using the spaghetti, BBQ chicken and pancake protocols!

By the way, on the way out the door at Dirty Dave’s, Terry mentioned he didn’t think we could sell 300 tickets for the spaghetti dinner. I stopped dead in my tracks (as Doug) and asked what kind of bet. We agreed that if we sold 100 tickets, he would throw another $100 into the event, and if we didn’t I would throw in the $100. Ha, ha, what he doesn’t know is that I have 2 things working for me; 1) the best Relay event in the world and (this might be most important) 2) I don’t have any money!!!

Seriously, please help me take a great guy’s money! All you have to do is buy a GREAT spaghetti dinner that will include a great salad!

Team Captains,

Please use the attached form to pre-sell tickets. You can sign people up, collect their payment, contact me and I will trade the money for tickets. I’ll have tickets for each meal or a “All Cuisine Pass” that will cover the three.

We will need volunteers to bus tables for at least the dinner and lunch.

Teams:

74 and still rocking (you are awesome!)

Fundraising:

20K ahead of where we were this time last year (See, I told you were awesome! And surprise, I have two $25 checks in my pocket to put us over the top J

More to follow.

Team Captains, please respond to me personally that you are selling tickets. We must give accurate estimates to these special vendors, so I’ll need to stay in touch with you. You can reach me at: TALKtoTOP@gmail.com

Let me know if you any any I can add to this thread.

As many of you know last time we tried to do a fundraiser night at Applebee's in April, and we had a freak accident shut down the power around Sleater Kinney...

Applebee's has been gracious enough to reschedule. For those who didn't get the email...

Applebee's in Lacey, 5-10 pm will be giving 15% of everything they sell to our Relay IF you present them the coupon, one per table is fine.
