What's Better Then Pancakes?

Coming up on Saturday, April 25 please join all of us on Team MacCallister for a great time of pancakes, raffles and hanging out to benefit the Jerry MacCallister Assistance Fund!

Your donations to the MacCallister Assistance Fund allow Jerry to continue in his care and therapy at SCI-Fit, as well as help the MacCallisters out with other recurring costs associated with his care and recovery. Thanks to all of you who have already given, and continue to give, Jerry's chances of a recovery have been GREATLY increased.

Breakfast will be up and ready anytime between 8am and 11:30am and you'll find us all at the Felton Bible Church. Located at the intersection of Zayante Rd and Graham Hill Rd, the church has tons of parking--so, look for the Following Jerry signs and you'll find us!

The morning's menu includes Pancakes, Sausage, Strawberries, Coffee, OJ and the works! Tickets are $7 per person, $3 for kids, cash or checks preferred. We'll also have a raffle, so bring some extra cash for your chance to take home some great prizes!

If you are in a position to donate food or supplies, please contact Leanne at leanne_m@pacbell.net Currently needed are papergoods and cash donations towards the cost of food, with our goal being that 100% of the proceeds go to Jerry, rather then to the costs of the event.

If you are planning to join us and attend, we'd love for you to "comment" here and let us know how many to expect!

Questions? Contact Kris at k_sihler@yahoo.com or Leanne at leanne_m@pacbell.net and thanks to the ringleaders of this event---Kris, Leanne and Mary--we call them "Jerry's Angels" Thank you also to all of you who have already volunteered to help and serve!

See you there!

On behalf of the fundraising team,
Marci

Thanks Marci.....I almost showed up for the pancakes a week early.
Hey Jer,
Hope all the PT and OT are going well today and that the nausea meds are still working.
Gosh, it's suppose to be a beatuiful weekend. Maybe you can hang out at the pool down the road. Probably feel good to get some sun on your shoulders.
I've got 5 of the grandkids coming tonight, maybe I should bring them up to meet Tina and Uncle Rico.
Anyway, just sending my love to you and the family.
Gretchen
P.S. Lord bless Jerry and Allie, give their family all the strength and courage to face anything that comes their way.

Jer, Buel said he'd be really happy to make you a special batch of his "Buel Cakes". :P I couldn't spare Mary today for a visit today. We're headed to Chico for a soccer clinic - keep your fingers crossed they like what they see. If they do, she may get to play there. Whoopeee!

Let's plan an excursion to Pacific School for next Friday? I know the kids are jonesing to meet you. If not next Friday, it'll need to be the 8th of May. Buel and I are driving down on the 1st to see Chris race.

Here's wishing and praying for a lovely weekend for all of you. The son will be shining on you - get it? :) Blessings to all!

Mary says to tell Rico and Tina she'll see them when she sees you next.

Pancakes in Felton?? ..Whee-hoo!!
Pancakes are "a piece of cake" (..short, round pieces!)
The pancakes will be welcome, ..and I am sure the chapel will also welcome a prayer for Jerry, the church, and all the loving people in Felton!
I'll get there early, ..I might want to say quite a few!!
Thank you to all, ..We'll see you there!

Thanks to all for making it to our Pancake Feed for Jerry. It was awesome. We had a great turn out and a lot of wonderful volunteers. We were able to raises another 3 months worth of therapy for Jerry which is incredible. It was great to see him drive his own ride yesterday. He is in his new power wheelie chair and can control it himself by using his chin.

It filled my heart seeing him have some independence and taking back some of the control in his own life. Having it HIS way. He was beeboopin all over the place. At one point I noticed Katie was out in the parking lot hanging out with the girls and Dennis was off hanging with the guys talking about the SLV softball team. As I walk through the kitchen to see what was needed I saw Jerry out back in his own space soakin up some sun and chillin with his buds. I am so thankful for every single person that has made this moment possible. Life is healing for them and they are finding their way.
Jerry was so happy yesterday.
