Mary's website is www.skiwithmaryb.shawwebspace.ca

Hi Everyone,

As some of you may know Mary is not a funded athlete, so much of the cost of the past 4 years has been ours. Some of our friends were talking to us about it and offered to organize a Party/Fundraiser. Well, now it's party time!

Here is all of the important information.

WHEN: March 6, Saturday Evening
WHERE: Elephant Walk Pub 41st and Knight St., Vancouver
TIME: 6:00 p.m.
TICKET: $20
WHY: To Celebrate Mary and to give her a warm send off to Whistler for the Paralympic Games.

Part of the ticket cost goes to Mary and the rest goes to the Pub for the food. Each ticket entitles you to a Burger of your choice (Beef, Chicken or Veggie), fries and a beverage (non-alcohol, beer or wine) and chances for fantastic door prizes and one grand prize draw.

There will also be a silent auction as well as great entertainment with some amazing local artists. We hope you can join us in this night of friendship, family, fun and celebration!

HOW: You can contact Kathy at kathyoxner@shaw.ca 604-541-8664, Joce at 604-708-2329, Shannon or Sandy at 604-709-4472 or thru Pat Hogan's website http://www.soundsandfuries.com/workshops via Paypal.

Invite your friends and family to join you for a night out to have some fun! If you cannot come and join in on the festivities but would like to be entered into the grand prize draw and make a donation for Mary you can do this as well on Pat's website.

If you cannot join us but want to send a message for Mary please send to me to be read by our MC during the event. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Also, if you have anything you could provide for the silent auction that would be greatly appreciated. Mary has written a letter for businesses and one from the Head Coach to verify that she is on the Canadian Para-Nordic Team to provide donours.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you.

Kathy Oxner
