Soon we will have a poster to hang up and we'd appreciate help from people to post them around your local areas.

Raffle tickets

Hello again. We now have the raffle tix in hand for the Benefit Concert on May 12. If you or anyone you know would like to purchase some beforehand (we are doing a 50/50 too!) - let us know!!  Prices - 1 ticket for $5, or 3 tickets for $10.

Also - I got an email from someone who found this blog while looking up "Pat Morrissey".  He was looking to get some Magic the Gathering cards autographed.  I have passed along this request to Pat to see what she thinks, but I'm thinking that could be a great fundraiser as well.  So, if you are here because you are a Magic fan and you have some cards illustrated by Pat Morrissey, feel free to contact me at patdonation@gmail.com and I'll see what I can do for you!  Also, tell your friends about this blog and feel free to post the link for others.  Curious which cards Pat illustrated?  See this link.  :)  Here are a couple examples:

 

I am also still trying to get people to "donate" their Twitter or Facebook statuses to spread the word.  Please consider putting up one of these messages so we can let more people know about our fundraising efforts ~

Twitter:  "HELP PAT @ http://patdonation.blogspot.com/. Donate ur Twitter msg 2day. Copy & paste this into ur feed. Let's show her our support! Thanks!"

Facebook:  "Pat Lewis needs our help - HELP PAT @ http://patdonation.blogspot.com/. Please read the blog, consider a donation, or at the very least, donate your status message today. **Copy & paste this status** onto your Wall. Let's show her our support! Thank you!"

Thanks, everybody!!  :)

Change in Bands...

Unfortunately, Vaast had to drop out of the benefit because one of the members will be traveling during that time, BUT we will now have The Wendigos instead!  They just won the Battle of the Bands at UNH and we are excited to have them join us on May 12th. 

We are still in the process of collecting donation items, so please contact us if you have something to donate for the raffle.  The poster is being designed as well, so stay tuned for that and help us distribute them, if you can.

Please also pass along the PayPal Donation link ~ Donations are still greatly appreciated to help Steve & Pat get back on their feet, financially.  Maybe "donate" your Twitter or Facebook status for a couple hours to promote this blog to your circle of friends and ask them to do the same.  If we can start a chain reaction, we could get lots more visibility in a short period of time. 

Thank you all for your help so far!  Your support has been wonderful!

Organization time...

Hello everyone ~

It's time to start getting everything organized for the Benefit Concert at The Coat.  We are trying to get all of our donated raffle items in hand as soon as possible.  If you or someone you know was planning on donating something, please contact us as soon as you can at patdonation@gmail.com or through the FB event or group page.  We need to collect the items and see exactly what we've got.

We will also be making a poster pretty soon and may need some help putting them up around the neighborhood.  :)  I'll be sure to put it up here on the blog so it can be printed if you'd like to assist.  We can use all the help we can get to spread the word.  This benefit is going to be such a good time!!

Thanks so much!  We really appreciate all the great donations!

PS - Update on bands ~  We finalized our three bands.  They will be WEC, Vaast and Jupiter 2.  Tell your friends!  :)~

Great night!

Well I just got home from the benefit at Flatbread.  It was great!!  So many friends showed up.  I did lots of mingling (and of course, pizza eating! - oh and delicious brownie sundae too... ).  Thanks to all who came out, as well as all who helped put it together at the last minute.  You all ROCK!  :)  My dad and Pat were too pooped to join in, but they are so very grateful to everyone for participating.  It's been such a blessing to have so many great people helping us out. 

While I was there, I was able to discuss some more details about the Benefit Concert at the Coat of Arms (Thur. May 12th, 7pm).  Boy, is this thing going to be awesome!  Sooooo many fantastic raffle items have been donated.  We are talking hundreds of dollars worth of stuff!  And I think we will have all the bands finalized in the next couple days.  Next step will be making the poster, collecting all the raffle items up and getting organized.  We will most likely have a 50/50 raffle as well.  And Pat's best friend, Diane (also a talented artist) will have a table set up for face and/or body painting for a suggested donation.  That will be so fun!

So be sure to keep talking it up to your friends so we can make it as successful as possible!  I think it's going to be a blast - you are not going to want to miss out!

Eat yummy pizza @ Flatbread Tuesday!
