Lots of "Housekeeping" Updates

Sunday night seems like a good time to get organized, so I figured I'd catch you up on what's going on "outside" of Jerry's room at Valley Medical.

As you've likely noticed, the community support for the MacCallisters is absolutely amazing. Because this family has given so much to our community, everyone I know is taking this chance to give back to THEM. From the offering of laundry services to building crews and everything in between, it's been remarkable to see so many practical details being handled by so many. And because we have so much going on in support of this family, we've realized that we are "outgrowing" this blog!

So, in the next few weeks you will likely see the launch of an expanded website at www.followingjerry.com. Right now, this address will send you to this blog, but someday soon you'll click in and find everything newly designed to include not only this blog, but also pages on the fundraising efforts, on upcoming events, on current practical needs and more. With the help of Katie's boss and coworkers at iHwy, look forward to this increased way of following Jerry as he recovers.

It is also really exciting to see the work of the Fundraising Gang. Coming soon will be Following Jerry window decals and bracelets, and as soon as we've got them we'll tell you where you can get one! There have been Bake Sales at Cabrillo, and on some counters you'll find Following Jerry change jars next to the register.

But mostly, this gang is hard at work on the February 7 Spaghetti Dinner. It is going to be a FANTASTIC night with great food and live music, as well as a silent auction and raffle. Items in hand include merchandise from We All Ride, Ralston Rods, Papa Murphy's, Pat Delia Plumbing, ABS Bike Shop, Kirkwood, Felton Veternarian, Capitola Boat and Bait, Felton Paint, Pro Build, Cruz Car Wash, Scotts Valley Fitness, Central Coast Running, Scotts Valley Cycle Sport, Santa Cruz Rug, Donati Motorsports, Fanucci Autobody, Kali Helmuts, Gilded Lily, Cowboy Diner, Dessert First, Mama Mia's, Winchester Auto, artist John Wells. And this is just the beginning!

Certainly, if you or your business has goods or services that you would like to offer, or if you'd like to contribute food items and/or paper goods for the dinner, please contact me at marci@redwoodchristianpark.com and I will connect you to the right people to give you some further details.

To RSVP for this great night, send an email to followingjerryrsvp@yahoo.com and indicate how many adults ($15 per person) and kids ages 2-12 ($6). If you are a family of 4 (2 kids, 2 adults), indicate that also and get in for $30. Dinner will be served 5 and 8pm, and we'd love to see you.

We will always keep you updated here on the blog, and if you have any questions on anything, just contact me at anytime and I'll connect you to the right group of folks.

Yours,
Marci
