Well things look like they are moving along. As with any event of this type there are all kinds of things that can happen. Adding to the inspiring events of the evening I have been told Theo Fleury will be speaking.  Yes the same Calgary Flames NHL star. I am sure he will have a donated autographed item or two on the silent auction table.

Now don’t rush out to buy tickets to pepper your collectibles in autographs. This is not what this fund raiser is about. Though I am sure there will be some time for that later in the evening.

I am doing my due diligence in seeing what I an do to match the spring theme and flowers. Flowers usually require water and my sound equipment has a distinct phobia about that so I want to find a taste full way to adorn my set up to match the theme. Not to mention finding appropriate music for the right times and of course for the entertainment. With the good news about Theo, there was some bad news as well. The headliner band had to cancel so I am now filling the role of late eventing entertainment. I certainly hope to pick the right music to get the crowd hopping and swinging.

And yes, even though my part has grown I am still doing this on my time and dime. I hope the exposure will be well worth it as I am sure it will be. It’s hard to lose when your helping raise money for such a needed cause. After all statistics say future criminals begin with often tragic child hoods and children who are abused often become abusers them selves. So if what I am doing helps raise money for programs that can prevent a child from being abused, or provide the help and support they need at a critical time to prevent them from becoming future abusers then I feel I have done my part at least in this small way to help our society.

I hear there are still some 100 or so tickets available. Please visit the page I have set up for this event for more details. I have the poster linked to this blog as well. There is no reason this event can’t be a sell out.
