A progress update...

A little update for those following the efforts of the Help the Harris Family fundraising efforts.  Jeni is progressing through treatment quite well.  I am SO pleased to say that she has now put chemo behind her.  I know she is relieved to not have to think about any of the awful side effects she went through anymore.  She had yet another surgery last week to remove her port and now she is resting and recuperating before starting radiation next week.  That will go on for the next 6-7 weeks, 5 days a week!


Our largest fundraising event in Paradise, CA on March 5th was a huge success!!  I can't be quoted, but I heard the Round Table employees making comments to the effect of it being a MUCH larger crowd than they normally see for fundraising events, that it was the busiest Monday night in forever, and that they were calling in every employee that might be available to help out!  The restaurant was certainly busting at the seams, and the raffle, silent auction and bake sale were all a success.  There were also two successful events at the Moose Lodge in Martinez, CA in February and March.  Thank you to everyone who supported Jeni and the Harris Family!

I know our fundraising efforts have been a huge relief to Jeni.  Every dollar raised is a dollar that she doesn't have to worry about finding as the medical bills are due.  We haven't decided yet if we'll hold any more events for Help the Harris Family, but we'll certainly keep everyone posted on her treatment and if any events do come on the horizon!  In the meantime, you can still contribute directly to Jeni via the PayPal donate button on the left sidebar of this blog.  And THANK YOU!!!
