Probably the reason I started to love Lady Gaga...she signed this photo for Joe's tournament with his classic "Let's get it".

Next year (2016) we will be hosting another softball fundraiser. This is a definite event - a promise I made to a young man many years ago! Soooo.....with that being said, I am now in the planning stages. We would love for this event to be our biggest and best - all thoughts are welcomed!

Any one interested in a charity golf tournament this year? Instead of the softball tourney, or in addition to??? Children's Hospital needs our help! Let me know! Thanks!

Who has a team that wants to play in the Memorial tourney this year?? (Cooper, I have you listed) I need to know ASAP

I know of a family that is in DIRE need of help to pay for final arrangements for their beautiful daughter/grand daughter. She passed this weekend due to a brutal beating by someone she loved.....the morgue is ready to relaease her body, but the funeral home needs payment. If any of you out there in FB world are able to donate any amount - PLEASE let me know ASAP. Thank you!

Sending the donation check to the Barrettes for Christopher's fund at Childrens Hospital, and delivering to the Bank for Officer O'Rourke's Family Trust. THANK YOU is not enough to say for all who continue to participate in the tournament every year!
