St. Jude, Memphis, Tn. tenative travel date.

[DragonRider]

I have set the date for Saturday, October 27, 2007. I have set the time for 1:00 pm for us to arrive at the hospital. I have confirmed this date with Dennis Johnston at St. Jude Childrens Hospital and they are more than happy to accomodate us on that date. What they will need to know is aprox. how many to expect so they can have ample parking available for us. We will be given a tour of the hospital and its facilities while we are there. If we have a large group of more that 15 or 20 they will need to break us up into two groups.

 

As for bringing something for the kids, he is going to send me a list of things that would be acceptable, since they dont want anything brought in that might harbor harmful bacteria.....no stuffed animals in one of the no no's. He is also sending a guideline for the tour. I will post all of that info as soon as I

receive it.

 

So if you plan on attending, please let me know for sure no later than Oct. 19th.

 

Thanks to all who have donated and/or planning on attending this meaningful event. This is for me a 1 day event, I will be leaving Memphis to return to Atlanta after we have done everything and have had a nice meal.

 

If anyone would like to add to the amount that we have already raised at Vogel, you can send them to me at my snail mail or Paypal. Just pm me and let me know how you would like to do it.

 

Thanks again.

Right now I have set the date for Saturday, October 27, 2007. I still have to confirm this date with St. Jude, so if anything changes we have ample time to make alternate plans. I will post the actual times for everything once I speak to someone at St. Jude.

Sorry Lewis, but I told George and Bobbie months ago that I'd come to their M&E. That was before they had picked a date. I saw your Memphis post before you had picked a date and before I saw that they had a date. I wish I could do both!

 

Have a good safe trip!
