Easier to Post Comments Now!

Thanks to Lisa for pointing out that some people couldn't post comments. I have changed the settings to allow anyone to comment, so if you have had problems posting comments in the past, it should work now. If you don't have a Google ID, just check the "anonymous" box. You can still add your name at the end of your comment.

Decision Time

Please see Tina and Marilyn's comments below the previous post, and...the poll at left to vote on this. Poll closes at noon Thursday. Mike and Norma have said any of the blog members are invited and welcome Saturday, so don't let that be a concern if you weren't at the benefit..

First Thursdays

As often happens when the date falls earlier in the month, I forgot tomorrow (4/24) is actually the last Thursday of the month. It seems clear that a lot of you have done the same. So, next Thursday would be the logical date of choice. That is, of course, unless there is a lot of feedback to the contrary. Please note: anyone can post comments by clicking on the "comment" link below this or any post, and you can add your 2 cents. I encourage everyone to do that, and to also make sure you check other peoples comments. The comment link will display the number of comments under each post. Please see Tina's post below.

Post from Tina Ostresh

Hi Ed, As Happy Hour administrator, it looks like you have to be the tie breaker. If you vote to have it,that Mexican place Kris mentioned in her e-mail last month sounds good. I tried to post on the blog, but couldn't. Tina O.

Pics from the Kowalski Benefit

...the Kowalski family

Tina Ostresh, Bill McClellan and Linda Greer (who arranged some incredible donations from Anheuser-Busch).

...the hard-working crew, including Norma Taylor, one of the driving forces behind this event, and Ron Hogue, Auctionmeister General.

Actual live action from the auction...

Post From Linda Greer

Just wanted to let you guys know that, unfortunately, we did not have Bud Lime for pick up this month…. L.

So… the beer choices at Norma’s party will be Bud Light, Bud Select & Mich Golden Draft. And, possibly some Bacardi fruity type drinks (we make the Bacardi drinks you see out on sale also). Man, I’m a walking and talking A-B advertisement. I should get them to pay me extra for this….

Also, if I could figure out how to post on the blog I wanted to say that Ron did an AWESOME job at the auction moving the merchandise! Next auction I have, he’s hired!
