You will not want to miss practice on Thursday! We have some fun surprises in store for you, AND we are getting close to the BIG day so please try to make it! And PLEASE RSVP, so I can gather the right amount of surprises!Last Thursday it was almost a secret practice - - yet Lorraine Cunningham saved us from it being a total secret! And Tracy Anderson and Debbie Orr came to chat with us about the importance of antioxidants. They scanned Lorraine, Rod, and myself for our antioxidants levels. As Lorraine said, "Too bad others weren't here for the scan. It's great information." Luck has it, Tracy and Debbie have graciously agreed to come back so more of you can be scanned. They will be back April 19th.
Congrats to Jeannie McLam and Jen MacLean for reaching their $300 commitment! Another BIG hooray to Jeannie for sending out fundraising letters and procuring $70. Way to go Jeannie!
The man above, Howard Price, had a tremendous influence on my life. A big part of why we are gathering for a cause is because of this very spirited and inspirational man. Howard was my high school cross country coach, he taught me the importance of excellence, and digging deep and pulling from reserves I didn't know existed. Last Thursday we lost Howard, and as there are "no accidents" in life, our very own Donna Vande Kieft was his hospice nurse. I was so thankful that Howard and his family was fortunate enough to have Donna with them. Thank you Donna for the work you do!
No soup this week - - yet come at 6pm for snacks, surprises, and socializing!
Get out, smile, love, and share your light with the world!!! Thanks for giving of yourself and being part of BEADS!!!
