I wanted to give you all a update on Lori. Surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday 7am. Lori is getting her PET scan today. That is to determine if cancer has spread to any other parts of the body. Lori has a positive upbeat attitude and is ready to fight the fight!
We (Ryan Richmond and myself) will be sponsoring a benefit for Lori, it is currently in the planning stages. The plan is tenatively set for mid June, possibly even into July. We are currently looking for a location. Date will depend on location & availability. Hoping to have location by end of week.
For all that have volunteered your time & talent, Lori is overwhelmed and grateful! I will be having a gathering next Wed. or Thurs. eve. to organize volunteers. I will have date set by end of week and will communicate that. Anyone wanting to volunteer in anyway, you will want to attend the mtg. If you cannot attend, let me know and I will see that you get a packet. Packets will not be available until next week.
Volunteering will consist of soliciting businesses for silent auction items, selling shirts, wristbands and suncatchers, putting up posters, picking up auction items, setting up benefit, serving food, cleaning up at benefit, making meals for Lori and her family.
At this point I have the following items for silent auction: 8 days, 7 nights in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico at the Marina Fiesta Resort, 1 large quilt, 1 baby quilt, 2 framed and matted fishing prints, Tastefully Simple, Avon, stained glass stepping stones, stained glass breast cancer ribbon suncatchers. So the list is getting bigger.
Speaking on Lori's behalf, she is unable to answer each person personally like she would want to, just due to the volume. Thank you all for all of your love and support for Lori and her family! They need you all now, more than ever!
