WOW

Hey everyone,

WOW, WOW, WOW is all I can say. The generosity of people is overwhelming. On top of all the wonderful things that are already coming out of this benefit, it has renewed some of my hope in mankind. People are giving so selflessly, so generously, sometimes at quite a cost or sacrifice to them. Thank you in advance for a tremndous outcome.

Our original goal was $4500.00, but I think we will go way above and beyond that. We are already getting donations in the account set up for Linda, and we are hearing of TONS of people who are coming to the benefit.

Please check out the latest version of the silent auction list....there are MORE items!
Thanks!

ALSO, we have a bid of $60.00 for the manicure & pedicure at Studio One

FOR THOSE OF YOU GOING TO THE AUCTION, THERE WILL BE A COMPLETE NUMBERED LIST OF THE AUCTION ITEMS AT EACH DINING TABLE. THE NUMBERS ON THE LIST AT THE DINING TABLES WILL CORRESPOND TO THE NUMBERS OF THE ITEMS ON THE AUCTION TABLES. THE NUMBERS ON THE LISTS MAY OR MAY NOT CORRESPOND WITH THE BLOG NUMBERS.

Grand Rapids Press and baked goods

Hey everyone,

Quick update...Linda is in the Grand Rapids Press in the Ada to Zeeland section. Whoo-Hoo~! And best of all, IT WAS FREE! Thank you, GR Press editorials.

Also, if you are planning on bringing any baked goods to the benefit, please put a price on them. Don't worry too much about it, just slap a price on there.

Thanks!!

Good morning.

We are so looking forward to seeing you all there...and raising as much money for Linda as possible!

Thanks again.

couple notes

Hey everyone,

These are all of the Subways that gave food to us for Linda's benefit. If you like subs, please support these generous businesses.

28th Street @ Breton Ave (along with 54th Street @ Division Ave)

28th Street east of Byron Center Ave (along with Kalamazoo Ave north of M-6)

Grandville in Wal-Mart on Kenowa (along with 44th Street @ Clyde Park)

Jenison on Baldwin (along with Standale & Allendale, both on Lake Michigan Dr, and Hudsonville on Port Sheldon)

ALSO: Just want to make sure that people understand that there is NO MINIMUM BID on any auction item. The retail price is simply what the item would sell for in a store. Give as generously as YOU can....every penny will go to Linda because everything was 100% donated!
Please don't NOT bid on something because you feel your bid is too small. Every dollar we make will help Linda.

Thanks, and have a terrific day!

Few quick updates

Hey everyone,

Make sure you keep checking the list of auction items...we keep getting more every day!

Also, we have all the pop we need. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

We are getting SO many donations from businesses as well as individuals. Someone donated a $50.00 gift certificate from Outback Steakhouse!

HUGE PROPS to Subway on 28th and Breton, Byron Center, and Jenison (maybe one more) for donating almost ALL the subs! PLEASE give them your business.

That's all for now...more later!
P.S. Linda had a GREAT day today that included lunch with her sister and the "best pedicure she's ever had! Please keep her in your prayers. We are hoping to see her tomorrow.
