Last night we had an impromptu event at the Brickyard!
The warm-up to the main event we will be holding at the Brickyard (December 19th) was useful for a variety of reasons.
- We received $85 in donations - even though there were only a handful of people there
- We indentified several promotional opportinuties we would need to employ at the big event in order for it to be more successful.
- The Brickyard has recently been revamped so it was a good opportunity to see the new layout/ decor.
- We were able to have beer and burgers on a School Night! Now that definitely warmed us up.
At 3pm, I got the call that one of the bands was playing at the Brickyard. So the Hood Team headed down to the Brickyard - in Etobicoke - after work.
The band has a host of toe-tapping, country-style sets, and they kindly offered to help us by having donations for the event while they were playing. We had a donation bucket Tammy walked around the bar.
As we walked around during the course of the evening we were told stories of people's struggles - it seems everyone has been touched by this disease. We even met a brave cancer survivor - who recounted the support Princess Margaret gave her during that difficult time.

A few beers, burgers, wings and a stir-fry later we were ready for the drive home. - Our heads buzzing with ideas for the December 19th, 2008!
