As I think beachdrivegirl and JenV are out of town for the Easter weekend, Lowanbeach maybe I can explain about the Monday meet up…the meeting at the BPP is to be a sort of brainstorming session, or a ‘meeting of the minds’ if you will, of a few of us WSB forum members who thought to meet to determine how best we as a community can help Mr. Dein get himself and his business back up on their feet. Anyone who would like to participate and join in is welcome…its informal and come as you are at 7pm…
As for having a ‘benefit’ type of event at the BPP, I made a phone call to them this afternoon and left a message asking if they would be interested in holding another benefit, a la last weekend’s awesome “Handbag’s For Hunger” event that JoB, JanS, Charlabob, and The Velvet Bulldog facilitated…once I hear back from the BPP or I am able to make contact with them (or if anyone on here knows the management/owners and can let them know we are interested in contacting them…!), we forum members can let the WSB community in on what, if anything, we have been able to set up there or elsewhere (we are still in the planning stages!!). I think our Monday meet up should greatly help all of the unknown get ironed out.
Thanks everyone for pitching in and offering your help, services, auction items, etc…I know Mr. Dein will be as awed as I am by all of your generosity. See some (?) of you Monday if you’re interested!
