Thanks Mike, Thanks Mark and Gloria! Yes there is a bank set up and It is in the article posted up higher...I will go cut the exact words out and post it seperatley. (next post ) =D

Mike, Bear and I are going to go hit up Safeway and Walmart tomorrow and see what we can get donated! We are thinking IF we get enough people to split up to have the 2 locations, and they are right across the street form one another. The bare tree store (where I work) Is going to get really involved, I do not know beyond a locale what the floor store is going to do or is willing to do as that is a Bear contact. I DO know that the merchants are very excited to support our efforts.
I will wait to post the poster till we have some voulenteers set up, we might even be able to post team names, and make it some kind of fun, like people's choice for the participants.
Bare tree was so excited that they were thinking of how to get even more local family owned stores and enterprizes involved, more to come on that=)

LETS SHOW EM WHAT WERE MADE OF!!! (GOOD stuffs! grade A, its a pork fat thing....lol)

How you can help: A fund to help pay burial expenses of the two children and adult male killed in the Wednesday house fire in Lakeside has been set up at the Stockmen's Bank. The fund is named the Joe Garland Memorial Fund. A fundraiser auction is also planned but the exact time and date has not been set. See Tuesday's Independent for more information



PS...the fundraiser auction is Dec 30th at The cHUCKWAGON STEAKHOUSE.

PPS!
of COURSE, anyone who comes up to help is invited to our house after the Benefit!

Just wanted to be sure you all knew that!

and Mike, once we see what if anything will be donated we can decide what to cook, and how to handle the benefit, if we get variety, we can do a mini competition. If we get brats and buns, then we simply sell brats and buns...the alternative is to take some of the proceeds to pay ourselves back for the meat and other expenses of course, that would be a shame, but, might be something we have to consider ..eh?

we will post the update after we seek donations and see what happens!

Huggss!

Cindy,

Stockman's bank is not local here in the valley.  Is there anyway someone down here can make a donation? 

Thanks for spearheading this for us, we will be there and make this event a success.

Cindy, Bear & Mike.. Cowpunchers Catering will be there with smoker in tow as well as a case of pork butts and enough sauce, buns and paper products to serve that case of Butts. If needed I will do some shopping here in town and bring stuff up if needed...
Jeri Lynn spoke with friends of ours (you remember Lisa Bostdroff the stage coordinator at the Lake) their company Phoenician Plumbing is going to send along a cash donation from what I am hearing... by the time I get done with them they will be coming up to help as well.
Maybe see if the casino or some local hotels will give us a discount rate for Saturday night so we can stay and simulate the local economy after the benefit... OR Find a bar ( maybe that steakhouse ) that will host a benefit night with a portion of their proceeds goes to the family... Maybe something as simple as a cover charge to get in ( which goes to the family)  then reasonably priced food & beverage for the bar... A Jan. 6th promo cant hurt their business up there.
Eddie Basha I hear is a huge supported of Lakeside... he keeps a home there doesnt he? He needs to be called and asked to help?
Check with the local Boy Scouts to see if they can provide help...It qualifys as "community service hours" working towards their rank of Eagle!

What else ???

I am talking to Steve Schewerkt GM of the Hon-Dah Casino, and so far he is willing to go 59.00 a room (usually 99.00) I told him that I can not get him a room count as of yet, but thanked him, and am awaiting a call back on further details! YAHOO!
so far the only number for local Boy Scouts is out of order, even the operator was puzzled! That was such an awesome Idea too! I have not yet checked to see if there are girl scouts, they too can become Eagle -like =) I think they are called ....Umm I forget, been too long =P (yes I was one)

Soon as Bears Phone charges up we are off to see what the local stores will donate , if anything...wish us luck, Ill be back at you soon, and again

HUGE HUGS!!!!

http://www.hon-dah.com/contact_us.html

this is the Local Casino!! The Hon-Dai Resort and Casino

we just got back from Safeway and Walmart and got very encouraging responses! Both will donate Gift certificates to avail us to buy what is needed, wether it be paper plates, meats, foil, or soda. We will be working through the Salvation Army to get donation slips and to collect these donations for the cause.

Bear has decided that it would just be TOO complicated to split the smokers into 2 parking lots, and its not worth the quarrel, so we will eb in the floor store parking lot which also hosts Big Lots, Sears, JCPenney, and lots of smaller enterprizes, the Bare tree store is just across the street, caddy corner a bit and I am going to ask them if they will be the pre~sale ticket location. (they would REALLY like some smokers in thier lot as well...)

I am going to update the flyers now, and Bear is calling the paper and radio station for free public service announcements. Later, after we get the salvation army on board we have the option to go see Big Lots, JCP and Sears for donations as well, and there is a caterer well known for his brisket we *can* ask to join us if we all feel comfortable with that Idea. His name is Kevin, and his company is Chow Hound catering. let me know how you feel about that before I make contact.

I want to thank :
Alayna of Walmart,
Tina and David of the Lakeside Salvation Army,
And Clint Ressig of the Lakeside Safeway for their very generous promise of support!!

and so it has begun=)

 That pretty much wraps up where we are at as of this moment. Hoping to hear from David and Tina from the salvation army to work out the contingencies for getting the donation gift cards from the grocers here as well as donation vouchers for BBQ plates.
  THanks for all the help guys!!

Cindy, it's your gig, contact whoever you want.  The more, the merrier, besides, we won't be able to cook Brisket prior to the event, so if he can do that, great. 

What would the rates be at the local Super 8, Best Western or Holiday Inn?  I thought I saw some of them between the Hon-dah and your place.

Let me know.

Thanks,

Mike

I'm with Mike, Even though I popped out the "casino thought" originally it is because that's the only place I know of. There are a lots of smaller places on your end of town that will work. Just let us know as the time gets closer what it is you need us to do.
