The princess request

Finley request your presence at the BBQ this Saturday on July 17th.

If you cannot come between 12-4, then you can come ANYTIME to visit - if you let us know. We will be around all day. So please stop by and say hi - even if you can't make it during the 12-4 hours. We would love to talk to you! So please don't let the time of the BBQ keep you away.

(Princess Finley is having a crazy hair day. Her apologies to her loyal subjects)

And the best part? You can sign up RIGHT HERE ON THE BLOG. This little thing I put on the blog below? You fill it out - just click on it and start typing. Push submit and the bottom and I get your RSVP! Isn't that cool? I love technology. Don't be afraid! You can RSVP right here! Right from your couch!

We are up to about 100 people for the BBQ. I got a few more RSVPs today. If you received an evite from me - please RSVP if you are able. But honestly it is not too late even if on Saturday you decide to come. We welcome ALL drop ins. We have plenty!

If you are not able to join us, but would still like to make a donation, please go to our VisionWalk page and do so. (click on the word Visionwalk in the last sentence, and it will take you to our page) You can use your credit card and pay right on line with their secure sight. Every little bit counts. Every dollar means we are one step closer to a cure for LCA. That Finley will get to enjoy the beautiful world with her eyes for her entire life.

So come down on the 17th. It is going to be so much fun. We can't wait to share our passion for this wonderful foundation with you and get you as excited as we are at the research that is out there!

See you in a few days!!
