Just wanted to thank all of you who are gathering donations and sending donations in advance of the event. The response has truly brought us all to tears and smiles. I have not seen Joe this happy in so long. He is taking good care of himself, following all the rules and doing everything possible to ensure he will be there ready to visit, to speak and to dance with his beautiful daughters.
I just wanted to update everyone on a few things:
If you are coming from out of town, we have negotiated a significantly reduced rate at a local hotel. You may contact the Windmill Suites, 3535 W. Chandler Blvd, Chandler, AZ 85226. 1-800-547-4747, www.windmillinns.com/cha.htm. Ask for the Kahler rate. It is $79 per night for a suite, including breakfast. It is walking distance to the mall and numerous bars and restaurants. It is close to the venue as well.
Please RSVP if you are planning on attending and also let us know if you would like to order a T-shirt. We are trying to organize food, T-shirts, seats.... In addition, we do have some food donated, but could really use more. If you have any connections with any local restaurants, please call Amanda, Candace or Sherrie. Our donations are coming in and we thank you so much. There is still lots of time to ask your favorite spots if they could donate anything to our silent auction or raffle. All the contact information is in the previous blog post.
I've received lots of questions regarding dress code. It is casual. Feel free to wear shorts, golf shirts, capri's, sun dresses or whatever is comfortable. Some folks will be dressed up and some won't. We just want you to come, be comfortable and be ready for a fun afternoon.
Thank you again for everything support team. We are so excited for Joe and the girls to experience their magical day, so excited for a day filled with friendship, memories, food, fun (and probably a few tears) and so excited to "Pay It Forward" to other cancer victims and to an organization dedicated to finding a cure.
With Love, Thanks and Gratitude,
Sherrie
