Fundraiser Update

Thank you to all who attended the initial planning meeting for Fundraising efforts for the Jaiden Lyndi Tlapa Fund. At this time we are planning two events: The first event will be an Adult Dance at Hampshire Hills. We are hoping to hold this event in early March. The second event will be a family fun day at the Hampshire Dome. This event will be in mid-April. We are looking for as many donated items for these events as possible. Please contact the appropriate sub-committee chairperson below if you can help us in any of these areas: Food -- Hallee Johnson - pjandhj@hotmail.com Facilities -- Kathy Carson - the5carsons@verizon.net Raffles -- Theresa Waller - c_waller@netzero.net Silent Auction -- Jackie Merrill - sportsmom4444@aol.com Publicity -- Terry Negrete - tdemers@comcast.net Transportation/Valet -- Kelly Lacasse -mailto:mblondekel80@aol.com or Kathy Donovan - Kdonovan@eatonberube.com Decorations -- Tricia Shea - liamollyshea@aol.com Theme Baskets -- Karen Cagney -mailto:KarenC@Hmisinc.com or Kim Calden - (copy both) kcalden@gmail.com Music -- Shane Hooker - shooker@cisco.com Teen Volunteers for staffing -- Amanda Clark -- mandyswim9@yahoo.com A Reminder:You do not have to be on the raffle or silent auction committee to obtain an item. I just ask that you contact Jackie Merrill for items OVER $50 in value and Theresa Waller for items UNDER $50 in in value PRIOR to making contact for the request. This is to ensure we do not go to the same source repeatedly. In other words, feel free to use your network! We would love to have a "Celebrity" lend their name to this cause as well and perhaps attend the Family Fun Day at the Hampshire Dome. If you know anyone that might fit this need please contact Kathy Carson at the address below PRIOR to contacting that person. Again, think outside of the box and use your networking! One big name is all it will take to fill the Hampshire Dome on Family Fun Day! Please feel free to contact Kathy with any questions. She can be reached at http://www.blogger.com/the5carsons@verizon.net or by phone at 672-3803.Thank you so much for all you are doing. The Tlapa's are so overwhelmed by everyone's support and are deeply appreciative.
