Another fantastic week!

This is an update on all that has been done with Forever Friends this week.  It's been a great week!

We had a group of great ladies from Fort Qu'Appelle host a golf tournament in our name this week.  They raised 2717.00 dollars for us!  Thanks to the Echo Ridge Ladies for the great support.  Two of our member helped with the registration table and I was asked to speak at the luncheon.  It's always an honor to speak at Forever Friends events.  I always get nervous and hope I don't make a fool of myself.  Don't fall down, zipper up, that sort of thing.  I think it went okay.  The luncheon was great and they even let me eat first which was awesome.  A fantastic lunch was served and we were honored to be there.  Honored to be a part of it.  So again our thanks to all that helped organize the event. 

We are in the process of helping a couple of applicants right now.  One is for prosthetics and a wig as well as rent for four months.  And another for four months of bills until she can return to work. 

Neither of these women were declared terminal so they don't qualify for long term disability payments.  Because they own cars and homes they don't qualify for social services until they sell their assets and live off the money.  Even though they don't have huge expensive homes or new cars they don't qualify.  So basically they are left with no income while finishing their treatments.  Four months worth of treatments and no money coming in at all.  I can not even try to understand why this happens but it does.  Everyday. 

Our event for the fall is coming together very nicely.   We have the ability to accept donations on our website now.  We can also use the paypal button to process MasterCard or Visa transactions.  If you would like to purchase tickets to our fall event you and contact me directly at 699-7788 or call the casino Regina box office 565-3000 (Regina) or 1-800-555-3189.   Or visit the link below.  http://www.casinoregina.com/entertainment/box-office

And just because I haven't included it in a while, here is the link to the Forever Friends website.  There is an application there, as well as a donate button.
