Walk, Wobble, Crawl!
We just received word of a new, fun event in downtown Rochester going on tonight. Please see the note below regarding an event Darren Groteboer and Chris Chafoulias are putting on. Wendy and I plan to attend (at least for some portion of the evening!) The 3 establishments they are visiting are all sponsors of the 2009 Roll & Stroll!
Subject: WALK, WOBBLE, CRAWL
Hello all, I wanted to invite you out to the 1st annual Walk, Wobble, Crawl. This is a fundraising event that Chris (Chaf) Chafoulias and I are doing to support Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. O.K. DON'T STOP READING we are doing this on our own and are not asking for donations (although we will definitely take them!) Chris and I couldn't make the real JDRF walk so we thought we better walk anyway. So tomorrow night Friday the 24th Chris and I will be walking.......from Kathy's Pub........to Sontes.........to Chester's all night long (with a few time-out's) so please stop by and have a drink with us, take a lap with us or just laugh and take a picture of Chaf's walking shirt! Remember you don't have to donate any money if you don't want but Chris will be matching all donations if you want to donate (he won't know this until he gets this email)!! We will be out from 4pm to 2am so please stop by, we will need a ride home!
PLEASE JOIN US !!!!!!
