Don't despair! You've got two months to prepare and promote!

I've been waiting to find out if I was going to have out-of-town family visiting and found out definitively today. Now just need to see if my sis wants to go or plans on us going out of town that evening.

There's a good chance that my wife and I will attend.

Have you considered making a page on Facebook as well? It would also potentially let more people know Jessica's story... just a thought.

Jolene set up a page called Viva La Jessica on Facebook where she updates about Jessica's condition very regularly. We've also got the event listed there with a link to her webpage.

Hope you can make it!!! It will be a very fun event!

Ticket sales are super slow. At this point we can't even cover our costs let alone raise any money for Jessica. I'd like to get a feel for how many of you think you will be able to attend. Please post a comment and let me know or go directly to www.vivalajessica.com

If we don't sell enough tickets soon to cover costs we may need to rethink things! I'd hate to do this, Jessica needs our help so much! Please help me get the word out about this event and lets sell this thing out!

I'm sorry, but I'm on business travel that week. Having planned xmas dinner events for a car club, I know that many people wait till the last minute to sign up. It does make it hard to insure your costs are covered though, I know I planned one get together party and over 1/2 of the RSVPs that said they would show didn't. I had a room reserved for 24-30 people and ended up with 6, counting me and the visiting guest of honor.

I don't personally know Jessica or Jolene but I've been following Jessica's accident on this forum. I'm buying 2 tickets on-line today. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jessica and her family.

We're definitely in for two, maybe five for the whole family, just have to figure out my kids' schedule, as they may be out of town that weekend for a visit with the grandparents. I will purchase by Tuesday when I know exactly.

I just purchased a table for Folsom Lake Bowl Family Fun Center and I would like to donate some raffle prizes for the fundraiser. I could also bring some tables and chairs for the event. we have quite a few that we use for birthday & company parties. Who ever is in charge please email me at dan@folsomlakebowl.com and we can work out the details!
