the money is no big deal. would could chance it and if it rains then it does i just hate for people to spend the money to come and get in and it rains all day. yo uknow what i mean.

Surely they'll give a refund due to the rain! If not give me the number and I'll call and get you a refund!

Jason,

Don't be sorry! You certainly can't control the weather (can u?? ) You have been so sweet to organize this and plan it without looking for reimbursement but I hope you will let kaninag see about getting your money back or at least a "rain check". lol

Anyway, I just wanted to say what a great guy you are and we will all definitely have to get together soon!

I will have to admit, with 6 in my family, my pocketbook is definitely heaving a big sigh of relief right now!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

That's one thing I hope that we can work on changing....I would like to work on getting sponsers like from md offices hospitals, event his forum...whomever we can get and even hopefully get sponsored by the park that way they can at least give us 1/2 off admission or something!

i just hate letting peole down when they are lookng forward to something, thats just how i am. imy wife always tells me i try to make everyone happy when i can't make everyone happy.

and thanks, we will start working on another one asap.

and im sure your pocket book is happy...lol mine is to.

i gave them a call and they just said they couldn't do it. but would like to talk to me about helping out the next time we try to do something up there. im not pushing it because i would like them to help out next time.

im going to contact vernoica when she gets back from vacation and talk to her about getting a sponsor. im also goig to contact other doctors and she what they think. it would be some good advertisement for them i think.

Sponsers: Depending on how much they donated could get their company logo printed on the sign, shirts (if we do shirts) and flyers to advertise them for the band. That was part of what was racking thru my head yesterday. Cuz you can have a big banner made to put up in the park showing everyone where to go!

Give the event a name...Like Banders Reunion or something...put a logo under that like "don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork" Then around all that you list the sponsers. There is a local sign shop here and theyre not that expensive! Just some thoughts....

Guest speakers, another thought

Activities for the kids like face painting and bobbing for apples...make it like a festival!!!!

it's raining! that makes me feel better. at least it is raining here. that makes me feel a little better but still feel bad.

kaninag, that sounds like a good idea. we need to sit down and right alot of this down and that way me or someone else can persent that to the sponsors. i think i can get my sisters company to help out some.
