I had the opportunity to go to the Common Grounds Park fundraiser last Thursday (thanks for the ticket mom) with my brother, mom and Leslie (the mom of another local CHARGEr I've become friends with). The event was a HUGE success and couldn't have been put on any better. The room was packed and it was heartwarming to see so many people in one room supporting a park for special needs children. The speaker, Dick Vogt, was incredibly moving and inspirational. I felt honored to be in his presence and meet him. Thank you to everyone who spread the word about this park and those who were so generous to send donations and/or buy tickets. Your money is truly going to a very worthwhile cause.
On a side note, please pray for one of my good friends who's water broke this past weekend. She is only 22 weeks pregnant with twins.

So very glad everything is going well for the park and can hardly wait to hear the news that Ben is able to use it. I am still trying to get donations from people at work...every penny counts.
Your friend will be in my thoughts and prayers....I hope everything goes ok with her and the babies.
Love you all,
Gramma Mo
That is wonderful it all went so well!!
I will keep your friend and her twins in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,
Crystal and Eva
It was a really nice dinner and presentation, wasn't it! I'm glad they were able to sell so many tickets. I'll send you my pics later this week. Most of them turned out really dark, so I was kind of disappointed with them. :-(
I'll keep your friend in my thoughts and prayers. How scary for her.
Hugs,
Leslie & Katie
