July 4th: "BBQ 4 ALS" Fundraiser

I have been "away" for a while. Blame it on Vi Jones-Medusky. She got wind of the nationwide Major League Baseball (MLB) project of setting up hundreds of barbedues around the nation to raise money for ALS research. This is in conjunction with the 70th anniversary of Lou Gehrig's announcement of his retiring from baseball in the old Yankee Stadium (see www.als.net/mlb/). Of course, we found giving money to ALS TDI to search for a cure a GRRRRREAT idea, so here we are, or will be on July 4th:

Keehi Lagoon Park Softball Field #2
11 am to 4 pm.

We will be:

• Sliding into 3rd base at the All-Star softball game
  
• Eating hotdogs/hamburgers/pcikled mangoes (drooling allowed at this point)
• Barbequing ono-licious stuff that belong to a grill
  
• Winning raffle prizes
• Spitting watermelon seeds into a bucket to win (more!) prizes
• Catching up with old and new friends
• Listening to Larry sing
• And, much, much more!

YOU could be doing the above, too. All you need is one of these:


It's a ticket that you can buy for $5.00 each and you are all set for the day. Just email divina@hawaii.edu for one (or a lot) or just be there on July 4th with your $$. Remember ALL proceeds go to ALS TDI.

More tomorrow... have to hit the sack and snooze!
