May's L.O.V.E. Club Evening Out


Our monthly meeting in May will be on a Friday evening - May 8th at 7pm at Pappasito’s in Arlington; 321 W. Rd. to Six Flags 76011. We wanted to give everyone an opportunity to come out and enjoy the food, fun and fellowship. Feel free to bring your families or to come alone. Please let us know if you can make it and how many will be with you by May 6th . You can leave a post here or send an email to Karen or Raelene.

The 2nd Annual Neuroblastoma Walk for a Cure on April 4th was a great success and raised $35,000 for the neuroblastoma program at Cook Children's Medical Center. The next big fundraiser we will be part of is A New Year of Hope's Motorcycle Fun Run on Saturday, June 6th. You can visit their website for more details - http://www.anewyearofhope.org/. They have flyers, registration and sponsorship forms there. If you were born to ride, come join the fun for a great cause...our kids!

Brandi also moved "Cowboyin' for A Cure" to September from August. It will be September 26th during National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We'll post more details as the time draws nearer.

This year The L.O.V.E. Club won't be compiling a cookbook, we'll retire that for another year. Instead, we are putting together a calendar with each child representing a month and raising awareness with facts about this disease. If you know of anyone who would like to sponsor the calendar, we will be putting their logos on each month for a $100 donation. Since we have so many families represented in this area now we will have enough photos for a sixteen month calendar, if we have enough sponsors.

The CNCF Neuroblastoma Conference will be July 16th - 19th in Chicago. Check out their webpage for registration and scholarship information - http://www.nbhope.org/.
