Hi Brenda, Julie says she told you we were coming up on the 20 th. But I persuaded her that we needed a day after she gets here to organize and pack the car. So we plan to drive up on Sunday or maybe Monday. That means we’ll miss the party. Please feel free to use our parking area and anything else you may need we’re anxious to get up there as soon as we can. Happy anniversary to you and Dave. We’ll raise a glass when we’re there. Love to you both! Gail and Frank

My Updates

We're bringing it back!

Wednesday 18th Feb
We look forward to welcoming our friends, family, clients and colleagues at this summer's party -- near the summer solstice longest day and our 5th wedding anniversary. This is the 10th year that Brenda has been involved with the Alzheimer's Association and the 3rd event being hosted by Garland Law.

As before, this is an open-house style gathering at our home and yard on Douglas Lake. There will be live music, food and drinks plus a cash bar, a silent auction, and games -- including group trivia by Dr. Ann, back by popular demand! Weather permitting, we also hope to offer rides around the lake.

No donations are necessary, and we hope to see you all. If you find any part of the party any fun at all, or if you feel sorry for us, or if you fall somewhere in between -- we would be grateful for your support.

Come as you are. Bring a companion or make a friend!

Doors Open................................4:00pm
 - yard games
 - rides around the lake
 - silent auction
 - donation cash bar
Meat coming off the grill....5-6:00pm

Brenda and Dave

Dogs

Tuesday 17th Feb
Please note that Indigo will be present at the event, milling about.
He doesn't get people food. No people food. Don't ruin our dog.

If you have a pet to bring, they are welcome, but know that there are other dogs in the neighborhood and a fair bit of wildlife and wild smells. And a lake to get wet in. We kindly ask that you consider a leash.

Can't Attend?

Tuesday 17th Feb
If you are interested in making a monetary donation before or after the event, this site is the easiest place to donate.

For our discerning donors

Tuesday 17th Feb
If you are interested in making a donation, but hate becoming part of a junk mail campaign, would rather stay private, and aren't concerned about a receipt for your taxes, you can direct your donation to Brenda, who will submit your gift anonymously.

You can mail a check payable to Brenda, use PayPal (brendajayne@hotmail.com) or bring cash to the event.
