Last night was MaryMargaret’s “An Evening of Music for Life!” at Holly Hills Country Club. Singer (and hero parent) Mark McKay entertained while guest bartenders (including yours truly) served the guests. I would like to thank Meg Klackner and Dan Grose, who were not only my fellow guest bartenders but were also responsible for bringing many people to the event. Two heroes from the web site, Anna and Julia Lemick, were there to solicit donations and support MaryMargaret’s efforts. All in all it was a great night of fun and we raised over $400.00, which brings our total close to $900.00. Thanks to all who came out and supported us, and we look forward to seeing you again on March 22nd!

Successful Event
February 21, 2009The Stage is Set
February 3, 2009MaryMargaret’s Music for Life program is under way. We have had one small fund raiser and have started using social media outlets to raise money. This is a process that will require momentum which I am sure we’ll get. But now we are finally faced with our first major fund raiser.
On Friday, February 20th, beginning at 7PM the Holly Hills Country Club in Ijamsville is hosting An Evening of Music for Life. Recording artist Mark McKay and his band will be live and playing his unique style of “roots rock” for our enjoyment. Three local celebrities (who aren’t really famous) will be guest bartending for tips for the cause. Children from the Kids Are Heroes web site will be greeting and manning the donation table. This is all to benefit MaryMargaret’s Music for Life program where she plans to buy 150 MP3 players for the kids at Children’s Medical Center in Washington DC. MaryMargaret had a 10 day stay at that hospital when she was six and she knows how frightening it can be. She feels that the therapeutic value of music will calm fears and make children happy during this difficult time of their lives.
This is a rare opportunity where Holly Hills opens its doors to the public. Please support MaryMargaret’s cause by coming out and enjoying some music, light fare and a lot of fun. Click here for more details, sample music and how to register.
