THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Trivia Night was held April 12, 2008 at the Pulaski Club in Easthampton.  It was a huge success.  Everyone had fun and we raised a lot of money.  Thanks to the Pulaski Club for donating the room.  Thanks to Joan Callini and all her helpers for putting on such a great event.  Thanks also to Carol Desrosiers, who won the 50/50 raffle prize of $374 and donated it all back to our cause.

We have reached our goal and then some!!!  We would like to thank everyone who has helped us to accomplish this goal.  We could not have done it without the generous contributions from everyone in the community.  Thanks go to every person who donated either online or in person.  Thanks go to every person who ran the Road Race, who cheered on the runners at the Road Race, who attended the Post-Race Party at Treydon's, who came to Trivia Night at the Pulaski Club, who bought a raffle ticket, and those who told their friends about what we are doing.  We could not have done this without you.

Thanks go to the many generous sponsors who donated time, money, space, and/or prizes to us.  These sponsors include Big E's, Mantis Graphics, Opa Opa, The Lift, Berkshire East, Boston Red Sox, Treydon's Bar and Grill, Pulaski Club, Big Y, Seamus O'Reilly's, Dandelion's, Maximum Exposure, ESP Automotive, Fenway Park Tours, Glory Day's, Paisano's, Carey & Carey Law Office, Register David Sullivan, and Pizza Wings & Things.  Thank you all very much.  We could not have done this without you.
