Saturday's festivities in Maurice were really nice, great weather and great turnout for the families. Channel 9 was there and had a story on the 10 o'clock news. Here's a link to that on-line story:

It's for the Kids is the headline and it'll play the 3 minute story just like you're watching the news. Pretty cool!

Have a good week!

I received a nice thank you note in the mail Tuesday from the Relay chairpeople saying thanks for participating and that it was a huge success "because of you", meaning our team!!! That was a mood booster for me so wanted to pass it along.

Jeannie and I talked and we're going to sell popcorn at the Maurice ballfield sometime in August when Jed's slow pitch team has tournaments. I'll keep everyone posted on that cause all proceeds will be donated to the Cancer Society (we were able to get the popcorn donated).

Hope to see some red shirts Saturday in Maurice!!!

I did get ahold of the Pastor for the Maurice Church and he said they already have concession stands in place for the movie and ball game. So we won't be making popcorn or selling pop, we'll just go to support the families. If you can attend, please wear your Team Mitchel shirt.

I'll work on getting something set up for a fundraiser for our team and will let you know what's planned!

Have a good week!!

No update yet, still waiting for a call back from the Maurice people. Will let you know when I know more.

Have a good weekend!

Get ready!

The Maurice Reformed Church is holding a benefit for three local families, including Jed and Jeannie, and I'm checking into our Team selling popcorn/pop at the event! Andy's dad has a popcorn machine so we'll just need to get ahold of a ton of popcorn, bags and oil, as well as cans of pop. The following link tells all about the event, which will be next Saturday, July 14, as Jeannie mentioned on the carepage:

Be sure to check it out! I thought it would be nice for our team to be there, at least as many as can be anyway, to support Jed and Jeannie and to be there in memory of our sweetie Mitchel. Of course all the proceeds we earn will go to the American Cancer Society; and, of course pending approval by the church that we participate. I plan to make the call today so will update as soon as I know more.

Please plan to be there if you can. If you have a car/tractor you can enter for the car/tractor show, please do. I have the phone number of who you need to call to enter your car and/or tractor so please e-mail if you need that information.

Hope you are all doing well and hope to see all my red-shirt friends soon!!!
