But inside, preparations for the SkateAThon are cookin' and people are getting excited. Our family is pretty laid back, but hosting parties and having fun- is very serious business. Actually, that's how Ted and I connected- just after our first date, he asked me to help him get ready for a party...a college kegger ( you know the type- 200 kids and nary a potato chip to be found) All legal, I hasten to add, because the age was 19 then. So we spent an afternoon giggling while scooping and hauling ice, free, from the CU Bus Ad building, with his infectious shoestring creativity "It's Saturday, no one's here to use ice anyway!"
To all getting involved for a good cause- Thank you!
- Organizing a shuttle service, because our street is now snow clogged, so you can park nearby and get a quick ride to and from your car safely.
- Friends in the Metro Classic Hockey League are turning out in force 11pm-1 am to play (to hear them last night, it will rival the Stanley Cup)
- Micki K, Hostess, stayed 24 hours last year...is now getting sponsors for her marathon devotion, tracked by hourly webcasts to sponsors.
- Marian High alums are gathering Sat. morning at 10 am. with rumors of the Class of 2000 dominating turnout- just as they did State- X 5! Children are welcome.
- Our future son in law, Mark, stepped to the plate by hosting his birthday party in the Wee hours- when friends do their best work, and we could use DH skaters.
- Offers for supplies ( thanks Randy!) food & beverage donations flowing in, we may have a premier of a new hot spot's menu, if it's a good night.
- Ice skates all labeled with sizes, written on blue painter tape- guess who?
- Donation total= an amazing: $ 610. 00! It's getting warmer all the time.
