From Mama Sue Caffey:
We wish to thank all who came to our lst and 2nd Points for Sight on October 2 and October 3. We were all very happy that the rains stayed away this year, therefore, no "stuck in the muds". Thanks to Mike Park and Joe Trigo for running a football pool and giving Lions half of proceeds, $100.00 to Sight. This will purchase 4 pairs of glasses. Thank you Ruby and Herb Ross for your donation even though you couldn't be there. Many thanks as always, to our Head Judge Janet Cardenas; referee Steve Ashman; my driver,Chicken and Dumplin maker, grunt, and whatever else needs to be done, Papa John; Billy Doss and his tally team; all our monitors, helpers, Lions, and AISD Vision and Hearing folks.

From Steve Nadeau:
This weekend I rode a challenging 130 miles in the Bike MS: Valero 2010 Alamo Ride to the River. Please help me reach my goal by visiting my personal page today and making a secure online donation at the link below. http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR?px=5894334&pg=personal&fr_id=14441&et=3rCRVUDLnSS8VBmNSYlhZw..&s_tafId=158358

I was diagnosed with MS in June of 2000. They have come a long way since I was diagnosed in the research thanks to the support of people like yourself, but we still have a ways to go. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable disease of the central nervous system (the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord). Living with MS means living with uncertainty.

I appreciate your support.
