Military Appreciation Monday

Supports

Neighbors Foundation

- Come join us at The Old Brogue in Great Falls on February 27^th for this month’s MAM event in support of the Neighbors Foundation.  All you have to do is show up and eat a great meal.  Myself and my co-sponsors will each donate a 10 percent match of whatever you spend on dinner.  In November, 220% of the receipts were donated to the  group Stop Soldier Suicide.

Last month’s Military Appreciation Mondays dinner in support of the Golden Age Games was our most successful event to date.  We ended up raising more than $5000 which will help support the sending of several local vets to the next games which are to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Hope you can make it to this month’s dinner on October 25th which will be raising money for Operation Second Chance.

Thank you again to all of you who came out and a special thanks to our co-sponsors and door prize donors.

This morning, I stopped and spoke briefly with the receptionist at the Great Falls Executive Suites regarding Military Appreciation Mondays.  We had a very nice conversation regarding the fund raising events and how the community has become so supportive.  At the end of our discussion, I left a copy of the flyer announcing the event on Monday the 24th.  About two hours later, she left two personal checks sitting on the desk I had been using, each for $50 to be donated to Our Military Kids and the Neighbors Foundation.  While I won’t mention her by name, I just have to say how much this is appreciated and the signal it sends our service men and women.

WE ALL CARE AND APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR, NOT JUST ONE MONDAY EACH MONTH.

This month’s charity night at the Pub in Great Falls will be in support of the American Diabetes Association.  The decision to choose this particular charity was in direct response to a request by Mary and Kevin Crabtree who will actually be settling on the purchase their new home in Reston.  Those of you who have attended previous events may recall that Mary actually won drawing for the Tiffany bowl donated by Toll Brothers.   If you are unfamiliar with how the event works, 20 percent of the cost of your meal is donated to the monthly charity.  We do not ask for any type of donation.  Simply come, have a great dinner and enjoy the company.  I would strongly encourage you to bring any friends or relatives.   These events take place on the last Tuesday of the month (May 26th) at the Pub in Great Falls.  We will begin at approximately 7:00 PM.  If possible, please call the Old Brogue to make a reservation and be sure to ask that you are seated with our group.  Simply print out the coupon and bring it with you to insure that the ADA is credited and you will entered into our monthly drawing.  Click here for a printable coupon.  This month’s door prizes include a bottle of top shelf  Casa Noble tequila donated by Otto Hoernig, a Delft Virginia Tobacco Jar by Doris Leadbetter with Keller Williams Realty and a gift basket donated by Dominion Title of Great Falls.  Thanks to Todd Jarvies, Operating Partner at PF Changs Restuarant for adding an additional door prize of a $50 gift certificate for PF Changs Restaurant in Tyson’s Corner. 

I hope you can make it.
