M&S Grill fundraiser

Wow, it has been a long time since I posted. We are still in contact with Tin and exchange emails a couple times a month. He has not been getting bookings since the economy is down and there was that earlier trouble at the Bangkok airport. Nancy and I have been able to help him out a little so he could keep his daughters in school. It does seem things are starting to turn around, he has a few bookings for Jan/Feb 2010 Now for some news about the wells. Thanks to the great people at M&S Grill here in Kansas City, we are going to be able to hold our fundraiser at their location on the plaza. The GM has offered to let us use an area of the restaurant for a silent auction and he will help us raffle off tickets for various gift certificates, some of which he is donating. I’m going to have to get busy and get a good slate of photos ready for the auction.

It will be held Oct. 28th at 5:00. There will be appetizers and wine available during the event and other drinks may be purchased at the bar. Plus it will be during happy hour so that always helps. We are still working out the details and an invite will be forthcoming to those that are able to attend.
The employees at M&S have helped so much in the past and Nancy and I cannot tell enough people how great they are. And it’s a really outstanding restaurant, our favorite in town. I really have high hopes for this auction. Nancy and I are working on a plan to return to Cambodia Jan/Feb. 2010 and it would be great to be able to tour some new wells and met some new families.
