Sit-A-Thon for the dsabled on Nov 3. Tell me your thoughts

Brothers,

Take a look at this site. I talked to the organizer. We can have a booth at no cost. We can sponsor a team of sitters. Cost to enter is $25 and goes to a program that helps the disabled to live independently. I received their postcard in the mail last month.

Thank you for visiting our special web page for information about our first annual event -the Glenn Ellison Memorial Fundraiser.

We are very excited to conduct this event on November 3, 2007 at Liberty Station (formerly NTC in Point Loma) from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

What is a sit-a-thon? It's the same as a marathon, only not as difficult. This is about relaxation, making new friends, learning something new, and helping Developmental Services Continuum provide excellent services for the people we serve.

Come sit - be a sprint sitter (5 minutes at each station) or a marathon sitter (watch a Bob Hope movie), or even a virtual sitter. Sound silly? It is! Who wants to walk or run when you can sit and raise money for a great non profit organization? The idea is to form a team of ten or more at a minimum of $25 per person, so each team will bring in $250 at a minimum to help DSC reach our financial goals.

Sitting will take place on bean bag chairs, futons, directors' chairs, lazy-boys, rocking chairs, straight backed chairs, executive chairs, whatever we can find to make your day more enjoyable. You can be a sprint sitter or a marathon sitter (there's even a movie to watch in studio seats).

We will have several booths where you can sit and play board games, video games, read, knit, play card games, or just meditate. We hope to have several celebrities and well known community figures come out to visit.

Come make new friends and learn how Developmental Services Continuum has been serving the developmentally disabled for the past 25 years, and how you can help in our mission to provide excellent care to the developmentally disabled community.
