http://www.hon-dah.com/contact_us.htmlthis 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=)
