First, the Annual Holiday Social will be on December 10, 2011 at the Lakeshore Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. It will begin at 11:30. It is covered dish, so you know there will be some mighty good food there and even better fellowship. Please send an RSVP to Ken Williams at klwmgw216@aol.com Due to this, there will not be a meeting in December for DSGA in Birmingham or in Dothan. So, we hope to all of you on the 10th!!
Now for the results of the Dystance4Dystonia 5k Run in Dothan, Alabama on September 24, 2011.
We raised . . .
$14,523.00!!!!
This will go towards Dystonia research by way of the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation. But, there is more news about the monies raised. There is a donor thru DMRF that is matching new monies raised from (I believe) August through December 2011. So, this means we will have been responsible for raising more than $22,000.00 for research!
Is that not fun news!!!!!!! So, we also owe a huge thanks to all that participated with the run in September. Whether you gave financially, spiritually or physically, we say thanks. Also, thanks to the donor that is matching new funds! That makes it all better!
So, for now, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas. Be very careful in all of your travels. Love your family and friends. That is just one thing that is very special during this time of year.
