We have a kidney!

We came back from camping this past week to the wonderful news that of the 2 donors that passed initial screening and went on to beginning blood work, BOTH of them are matches! One is a little bit better match so we are starting with her. She will go thru the rest of her blood work and a few more tests to make sure everything else it OK. So if something goes wrong (which we pray it won't) we are blessed enough to have a good 'back up'! Anyhow, surgery will be within the next 2 months according to our nephrologists at last months appointment. So YEAH!

Dinner is Done!

Well, for any of you who attended the dinner, we hope you had a lot of fun! We sure did! Glad it's over, but it was really worth it! We had a great turn out and amazing support! There were incredible people who donated things to raffle, silent auction and live auction, help cook & serve and man different stations. Below are some pictures that were taken to show some different sides of it!
First, we need to thank Grandpa & Grandma Lords for coming over to watch the kids all day while the event was being put together! THANK YOU!







We had things that were silent auctioned. Lots to pick from!






This is the table that had the most food underneath it!






All the food was donated by vendors & Alison herself, of Alison's Pantry. That is the monthly fundraiser that Amy does. We sure do appreciate Alison's help in contacting vendors and doing all that for us! The food was delicious, too!






Here are some of the raffle items!







And here are the live auction items...we can't forget....







THE PUPPY! 9 week old golden retreiver! Notice Ryan front and center!






Here is some of the amazing kitchen help and servers! We couldn't have done it without them!






And then the man of the hour! DANIEL!

Thank you everyone!

We also decided do this again in the Fall sometime so watch for advertisements for another fun filled night of BUNCO!

Bank of America/Pay Pal Donations

I now have a bank account set up at Bank of America for any of you who would like to place a donation. Although my account was opened here in Fallon, NV, you can donate at any Bank of America location. If you would like to place a donation, just give the bank teller my name, Daniel E. Lords, making sure to mention my middle initial so he/she can pull up the correct account. Also be sure to mention that my account is in the Fallon, NV branch if you are donating from a different location.
I've also had people ask about donating through Pay Pal. You can log onto www.paypal.com and click on "Send Money". It will ask for the email address of the person you're sending money to (mine is amylords@gmail.com) and the amount of money you wish to contribute. Your donation will then be deposited into my account. Thank you!

BUNCO Fund Raiser

On March 12th from 7-9 p.m. at the Old Post Office (located at 90 N. Maine), we will be holding a BUNCO Fund Raiser. The cost of entry will be a $10 per person donation. To reserve one of the 48 seats available, call Kara Sommer at 423-5503 before Feburary 27th. If you have never played BUNCO, we would be happy to teach you!
