TONIGHT Skate for the Children

Come one, come all to the party that will benefit disadvantaged children in the LaVergne and Smyrna communities! SKATE FOR THE CHILDREN is being held tonight (Tuesday, October 10th) from 6:30 - 9:00 p.m. at the Smyrna Skate Center. The admission is $4.00 ($2 will be given to the cause) and $2.50 for skate rentals. A silent auction is planned for the evening. Donations include:

The silent auction will be set up in one of the party rooms. In addition, Arbonne is setting up another party room. Arbonne features all natural make-up, lotions, etc. The sales representative will donate a part of every sale this evening to the Christmas for the Children fund.

BIG NEWS: The Daily News Journal published an article about tonight's party. Kudos to the this major media outlet that has supported us in this process. Although she didn't take a byline, I want to thank Mealand Ragland for writing the article, Party to help pay for holiday presents. Thank you, Mealand!!!!

I also want to thank Tim of Tennessee Redneck in King Harald's Court for his work on designing this page. It is BEAUTIFUL! We are working toward setting up a PayPal account for anyone who would like to donate, but don't want to write a check. It may take me until later this week, however, because we're a tad busy right now!

Appreciation to Mark of Drama Llama for doing so much of the legwork today to make this evening possible. There are so many bloggers who have done a lot to help us, but I think Mark definitely deserves a hearty thank you from all of us for his extraordinary efforts.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING A HUGE TURN-OUT TONIGHT!!

See you there!
