Thank you Resto-Pub Alibi!

Hi everyone,

As I mentioned in my last entry, Resto-Pub Alibi held a cribbage tournament this past Saturday, March 15th, 2008.

Through the kindness and generosity of the players and owners (Brian Finnerty, Carolyn Finnerty and Darlene Hunt), I'm so happy to let you know that, today, I delivered a cheque for $327.00 to the Canadian Cancer Society office!! Thank you so much to each and every person who participated in the half and half draw and contributed money to the pot.

My fundraising thermometer has been updated, which makes me feel really good, and encourages me to keep pushing ahead. I will post again just as soon as I have news about my upcoming ideas and activities.

Love,
Kelsey

Springing ahead!

Hello everyone! It sure doesn't feel like spring yet :( We have SOOOOO much snow! But the time changed and I guess we can pretend that it's going to be spring soon.

I wanted to update you on a few things. Resto-Pub Alibi is having their second annual Cribbage Tournament on Saturday, March 15th. Also, for the second year in a row, they have chosen to donate their proceeds to help me with my DorisDollars fundraising goal! I am very proud to have them support me and will be really excited to turn over whatever is raised to Mr. Bonneau at the Canadian Cancer Society office. I haven't seen him in awhile and I hope he knows that I haven't given up!!

I've also just started planning another event - a garage sale - for late spring/early summer. My first one was successful so, with the support of my family, I'm going to hold another! We have to wait for our town to release the dates for 2008 (there are only two official weekends where we have permission to hold garage sales) to know if it can be done on the earlier date. If not, I'll plan it for the fall.

I'll keep you posted on how things are going!!

Love,
Kelsey
