Excitement is building!

Ray and I went to Carfarnga's Italian Deli/Supermarket today to see about donating some Italian sausage and ground beef to make some extra sauces. Little Sicily's pizza in Brice is donating a case of sauce. I want to make a sweeter sauce for the bellies that can't handle spicy foods.  I am one of them.

Ray is making tickets to have them printed and they look great. A keepsake as a reminder for why we are having this dinner!  And remembering those who have lost their battle from prostate cancer. In my heart they will never be forgotten!!

Now to plan for the raffle items drawings.  Hummm...this part is going to be interesting as we will have the band playing that night also.  Have Tyler Wayne call out the ticket numbers or draw them out and write them on a poster board so you can enjoy the concert while eating.  I will be getting to Dayspring Community Church at 4pm for setting up the dinner and the band.  There will be a table in the parking lot at that time to buy your dinner tickets and also extra raffle tickets will be available then! 

CiCi's Pizza Pickerington, Ohio

Yesterday we went past CiCi's Pizza in Pickerington and they were CLOSED!  The sign on the building was gone, lights out, and a not on the door to visit the Gahanna location.  They were one of the pasta donor for Pasta for Prostates.  I contacted the coperate office to see if they can some how help me. 

More donations

Today I got an email from the Cloumbus Clippers that they are donating a hat and T-shirt!  And the single year membership to Scarborough East Tennis & Fitness Club came in the mail today.

The excitement is building.

Culver's Donation

Today we went to Culver's and I ask if they make donations and yes they do!  I told Joe what I was doing and he is donationg 300-400 frozen custard cups! 
So now part of the desserts are taken care of.  I am getting so excited for September to get here.

But Joe asked if we could pick them up on the 28th and Ray said yes.  Then he said we could pick them up on the 29th.  I asked Ray if we were going to do any special on the 28th he had no clue....It's our Wedding Anniversary!!!

FREE TESTING!

The Drive Against Prostate Cancer FREE testing program, is providing FREE prostate test in conjunction with Central Ohio Urology Group, Inc. Early detection is critical. The Drive Against Prostate Cancer tested over 10,000 men last year, saving lives by alerting men with abnormal tests and helping them with further testing and treatment.

It is estimated that Ohio will have over 8,560 new prostate cancer diagnoses this year, and over 1,210 deaths from prostate cancer this year, but there is hope through awareness and early detection. Do not allow yourself to become one of these statistics. Get tested this weekend in the Columbus area at the mobile prostate cancer vehicle sponsored by Central Ohio Urology Group, Inc.

A Word of Warning

by Nigel Lewis-Baker

NOW here is a message for you guys out there.

A short word of warning – take care and beware.

If you have trouble peeing with all of your might

Or have to get up more than once in the night

If all you can do is dribble and strain

Zip yourself up – and then do it again,

Then the prick you should look for is called a blood test

And the doctors and scientists do all the rest.

Your little prostate may be starting to grow

And squeeze on your organs – and you will not know.

But your pipe called urethra goes right through the middle

Which is why, when it grows, it gets harder to piddle.

It will only get worse – it will not just improve

So make early arrangements to ease or remove

This walnut-size organ that causes such grief

Before it's too late – sort it out – get relief!

It may NOT be cancer – it could just have grown

So a quick exploration and all will be known.

But if it is cancer you have to be quick

To catch it and treat it before you get sick.
