Thank you That Guy and a big Thanks for all your help with the donations and publicity!

Darth, got you at the table. The second MyFolsom table is now full, but I'd love to start a third!!!!! Tickets are still available at http://www.vivalajessica.com This really is going to be an awesome event and I'm not just saying that cause I'm in charge The community has really come together to help this special famiy and especially Jessica. I am looking forward to a yummy meal from Strings and a nice glass of vino (Thanks Bray for donating a case of wine!!!) The silent auction looks great, a few vacation home's are up for auction (Sea Ranch & Tahoe), lots of wine and massages and other awesome items. Folsom Mounted Patrol will be out with the horses and of course Jolene will be there representing the Lavine's! I hope we can fill the room up and show Jolene how much our community loves and supports them as they travel this unexpected journey with Jessica.

Jesse and Jocelyn might make an appearance, also. Unfortunately, our hopeful special guest was going to be Jessica, but we have decided that it would be far too much stimulation for her. There will be a photographer on site, capturing memories so that I can share them with Jessica later. (Thank you, Kimberly Cooper Photography!!!)

Thank you SO much to everyone. I look forward to the future, when my girl is back with us, recovered, and she and I can start down the road to helping others as we have been helped. We definitely need to pay this forward.

You are all fabulous!

Just a quick note, in case you missed the announcement on the Viva La Jessica page on Facebook:

WEDNESDAY NIGHT will be the final time you are able to buy tickets for this event. We are very close to capacity so we will NOT be selling tickets at the door. Please buy your tickets ASAP if you are planning to attend the event.

We have had a last minute influx of donations for the raffle and Silent Auction. There is so much great stuff available to win and bid on. I am looking forward to a fun night of music, dinner and seeing what people win and bid on!! You are not going to want to miss this awesome time.

How's the raffle/silent auction items coming along? Do you need more? I can donate some custom logo wear (www.FolsomShirts.com) or carpet cleaning services (www.FolsomCarpetCare.com) if you want something like that.

[Jolene]

There is SO much stuff! Contact Barb and she will let you know. At this point, I think it would probably go into the raffle. She's finalizing everything today and tomorrow. THANK YOU!!!!!!

I am so glad things are going so well. I hope everyone comes with deep pockets.

I will be bringing Nan's four paintings over around 3 PM. One is a set of 3 paintings (each painting is 36" W & 48" H) that should be hung about 3 inches from each other. The other one is a large painting of a flower 48" x 48".

I hope they sell.

Ron: anything you would like to donate would be much appreciated. I have finalized the silent auction so we could put in in the raffle if that's ok with you??? Just bring it to the event with you. Thanks again for your donation of DJ services at the event - you are so wonderful! I will call you tomorrow to touch bases with you and finalize all the details.

I have seen Camay's wifes paintings in person and they are EXQUISITE. I can't imagine that they won't sell Cal! Nan made a special painting in Jessica's favorite color, purple and is calling it "A Rose for Jessica." I tear up everytime I think of it. The other painting is named "Viva La Jessica" and is the most vivid gorgeous reds, oranges, etc that I've ever seen. She is truly an artist and I'm excited to watch the bidding on these two items!!!

I've said this before, but it bears repeating - thank you to EVERYONE who has donated, secured donations, purchased tickets or volunteered to help at the event. MyFolsom is such a great community and I am blessed to be a part of it! We have sold 192 tickets which I think is PHENOMENAL! What a great testament to our community and the love we have for a little girl that alot of the people haven't even met. I love Folsom!!!!!!

oh yea, tickets are still available until Wednesday night at midnight at http://www.vivalajessica.com!

Great job, Barb J. I think you are wonderful for putting this together. I know it had to be a lot of work.

I'm sorry I can't be there tonight, but I know this event will be a huge success. Barb, you did an AWESOME job pulling this together! Levines, I'm there in spirit.

This was without a doubt one of the best ever productions I have ever seen.

Barb, you did one Hell of a job on this. Everyone pitched in and helped. The young girls that served the tables, the DJ and just everyone that put in time and effort, I applaud you.

I have worked a lot of events and this is without a doubt one of the best ever.

Thanks for all your hard work.

John, thanks for the bottle of wine you put on our table.

My wife, Nan's, paintings did sell. Thanks, we will deliver them tomorrow.
