I just got home from The Chapel in Marlboro. I was helping set up the gym for tomorrow's pancake breakfast to support Trevor Weigand. I hope many of you are planning on attending! Tickets are $5. As CK mentioned above, there are many, many excellent gift baskets set to be raffled off tomorrow. My favorite - the basket donated by UA! It's a great basket! If I remember correctly, it contains 1 L Akron B-ball hoodie, 1 M Men's B-ball jersey, 1 M Akron B-ball t-shirt, 1 Youth size UA baseball cap, 1 Youth size Zippy hoodie and a Keith Dambrot autographed adidas basketball. I've already purchased 20 tickets for the basket! Maybe we all could buy a ticket or two for the UA basket? It will help one of our own and it's a great prize to boot!God bless the Weigand family and tomorrow's community efforts at The Chapel in Marlboro.
