The best fundraiser ever - going on now and next week!

I donated $50 worth of old paint cans and am loving the area I cleaned out of my garage. Today and next Saturday, the Mt. Lebanon Field Hockey Association is collecting old paint cans, which will be turned into art by the girls' coach. Collections at Markham, Hoover, and Jefferson will continue until 2 PM today, as well as 10 AM to 2 PM next Saturday.

Transplant a success!

The cover of this week's The Almanac features family friend Geri Whalen along with her sister, Dana Christner in the article, Sister act. A follow up Almanac story, Sisters' kidney transplant a success (Saved in Google Docs), Terri Johnson updated Geri's condition.

Geri's "super kidney" as she likes to call it, started working immediately. Please consider attending a fundraiser to be held this Thursday. The fundraiser is to help with expenses not covered by medical insurance beginning at 5 p.m. Jan. 24 at Del’s Bar and Ristorante in Bloomfield. There is a $10 cover charge with appetizers and pasta bar, organized by another sister, Jennifer LaBella. For more information on the fund raiser, call 412-860-8805. Or email me at EGillen476@aol.com and I will pass it on to the committee.
