    Petrocs, does Family House have need for anything like the items we are gathering for the troops? Let me know and I'll start rounding things for that as well. Thanks.

    Hey Everyone,
    I just wanted to share with all of you the amazing feeling and experience that I experienced last night:

    Last night was the monthly Yellow Ribbon Club meeting. When the members finally digested what we are doing over the course of the 4 PJ Philly shows, their eyes sparkled and their jaws dropped. They are so excited, so full of hope. Many of them have sons or daughters overseas and they spend a lot of time being sad and worried. What we are doing gives them something to look forward to and gives them hope. So much so that now I have a list of 10-15 members who insist on showing up to some or all of our Pre Parties to help and meet you all and thank you for your support. They don't even have tix to the shows but are going to drive across the bridge into Philly to join us. Amazing.

    What an amazing feeling. Thank you for being a part of it with the cause we are driving at here.

    See you in less than 7 weeks!

    Wow, very moving. Thanks for sharing. It is amazing what you guys continue to do and I’m sure the pre-parties/fundraisers will be a big success.

    Can’t wait to meet you all!

    As the Governator said in the movie, "I'll be back" for that too. :lol: Hopefully, you guys will be hauling it our Governator style (Fast Eddie) over this way for a show and pre-party next round as well. Thanks for the update.

    Weekend on-call bump!
    Not a major Klausen collector but I'm loving that Toronto poster, oneforeachday. Sorry I'll miss you this time but have a Happy Halloween with your kids. Maybe I can convince my cohorts, EV or Petrocs to get me some raffle tickets in case it goes up before the 30th.:-*

    Go for it Rick (see WWE for pics). Extra cheese in a box is still pizza not pizazz. :-D :-D
    Anybody travelling to other shows, please bring your extra hotel soaps and shampoos/conditioners for the troops to the shows. Thanks.
