The Benefit For Dad

I just wanted to re-cap on what mom just posted today and give more details. Okay, Simplot is putting on a benefit for dad at Jolara Lanes Bowling Alley on November 10th in Montpelier. The hours are from 10am-5pm. Bowling will be $25.00 a lane per hour with a 5 person max for each lane. Tickets will be on sale for $1.00 for the raffle of prizes that businesses, family and friends have donated. Tickets for a 300 winchester short mag riffle will be on sale for $5.00 each or 5 for $20.00. We currently have a gun board going around. If there are still squares available by benefit time they are $20.00 each. The gun board is for a Colt 45 pistol. We will be holding a silent auction for various items which will open at 11 am and close at 4pm. The Montpelier Trap Club has invited those who are attending the benefit to come to the trap club from 11am-1pm and from 2pm-4pm and enjoy some skeet shooting. Each shoot is $2.50 and proceeds will go to dad. There will be a lunch at the Bowling Alley at 1pm and Adult Plates are $7.00 and a child plate is $4.00. The lunch is roasted pig, dutch oven potatos, salad, rolls and a drink. We will also have home made treats for sale. If there is anything that anyone wants to bring for the raffle or silent auction please feel free to, just contact me, Deidra, so I can let you know what I need you to do. My email is deidrajo@dcdi.net. We hope to see you there, and once again thank you so much to all of you who have touched our lives with your kindness, thank you for your prayers and thank you for your friendship. You will never know how much everything that everyone has said and done has touched my dad's heart.
Love, Deidra
