It is a great honor for me to be playing for this great cause.
If you have a chance please stop by, its going to be a great night and a very noble cause.
Hope this can set some example for other events of the same gender.
Everybody needs a little help, in many ways.
Peace

This is a graet cause and we are proud to be a part of it. We did the original benefit for these kids years ago and raised enough money to but a handicapped equipped van with chair lifts. The boys were very young and small. I can only imagine how much tougher it is for these parents to cope now that they are teenagers and growing. Tom does a super job coordinating this effort each year and it gets bigger each year! It's no small task to put on a benefit of this magnitude. He called me last September to book us!
If you cannot attend and have even a little to give, please contact Tom Reid for info.

There have been a lot of benefits held at my club, but this one is extra special because these kids touch the hearts of many, many people. Please come and give whatever you can to help these beautiful boys have an enjoyable and memorable day. I want to thank all the bands for participating in this benefit. My understanding is that KYLE and Patrick LOVE music! So please, everyone come on over to Deb"s and enjoy the sounds, food, and don't forget "it is all about the kids. " thankyou deb and john

Not only are Ray & Lisa the most positive parents I have met, but Kyle, Patrick & Matthew are very lucky to have such wonderful,supportive & caring people in their lives!

Super day of music and a great time had by all. They raised lots of money for those kids. A job well done by everyone involved. Next year will be even bigger from what I heard Saturday.

Daily Horoscope for February 12

Virgo

Before the day's even fully underway, you could be drawn to an item in a shop which proves irresistible. Of course, there could be other wonderful items in other shops.... but can you afford to grin and keep shopping? If you don't exercise some control, tomorrow you're going to wonder what on earth happened. You don't need a lawnmower if you live in an apartment, or four hundred disposable nappies if you don't have a baby! Get the point?
