- What: Maureen White’s KARAOKE FOR KATHY!
- When: Thursday June 5, 7:30 – 10:30 pm
- Where: Iggy’s, 2nd Avenue between 75th and 76th streets
From Maureen: I am gearing up for the New York City triathlon again this year and want to have fun while fulfilling my fundraising obligation for New York City’s Chapter of Team in Training. Team in Training is this fantastic organization that trains people for endurance events in exchange for fundraising for blood cancer research.
The wanting to have fun part is where you come in. karaoke + open bar + friends = Fun!
This year is very special because I am honoring the one and only Kathy McBeth; friend, mother, wife, aunt, sister, daughter, blood cancer survivor, cancer patient counselor, dog lover, snow shoe-ing maniac, unofficial grand dame of Stowe, Vermont and all around remarkable woman. If you know her, it is hard to image the world without her. So please come and sing your heart out in her honor!
There will be lots of fun people, an open bar (did I mention that earlier?) and even a few enticing raffle prizes. Think of this post-memorial day gala as your REAL kick-off to summer! No, you do not have to sing, but yes, you do have to show up and give Kathy a hug, even if you don’t know her.
Please spread the word…all are welcome. More info will come later, but here are the basics.

- When: Saturday, May 10, 4:00PM
- Where: Hoboken, NJ 07030 U
We are putting together a bar golf outing – with a twist. What exactly is bar golf? We’ll visit five bars and you can earn points for doing things that you would probably do otherwise – drink a shot, play bar games, ask for a phone number, kiss a competitor. You can choose to be in a foursome with your friends, or we can place you on a team (highly recommended!) Watch out for a few surprises along the way, including several hundred dollars in prizes from local businesses.
Join us on May 10th in Hoboken, just a short jaunt from the PATH for the city dwellers. Last-minute additions are welcome, but please RSVP if possible so that we can give the bars a head count. The cost is $20 per person and we’ve negotiated some excellent drink specials along the way. If you’re all in and would like to pay ahead of time, please visit my website to play with a credit or debit card. Otherwise you can pay at the start of the event.
The proceeds will benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Mindy is participating in the Nautica NYC Triathlon in honor of her cousin, Ryan Waldheger, who recently passed away after fighting leukemia for most of his life. We want to support her in reaching her fundraising goal of $3,000.
**Schedule and Drink Specials to be Announced!

IMPORTANT INFO:
I am asking for a $25 suggested donation – you can pre-donate online here or you can donate at the door or not donate at all.
It’s more important to me to get more people into the national marrow database – if for ANY reason you don’t want to donate (whether you’re also raising money, have no money, etc), please come anyway.
If you’re in any way uncomfortable with the idea of donating marrow if you’re a donor match, it’s not mandatory. Again, please come anyway, we’ll put you in a little corner with all of the other non-donators. Free dunce caps will be available for you.

Organize Your Calendar.
If you’re having trouble keeping track of all these dates and deadlines (and the season hasn’t even started yet), fret no longer! We’ve created a Google Calendar for you to keep track of all the important stuff.
This calendar will NOT have training information — it’s for fundraising/social and other events throughout the season. Check with the coaches for those dates/times.
This calendar WILL have fundraising events, so if you’re planning one, let us know and we’ll add it to the list.
For your convenience, there are many ways to view the calendar:
1. Look over there to the right. You’ll see a column that lists all the important events, and if you scroll over the event title, the date and location will appear. Click on the event name for more info.
2. Visit the GoogleCal website here.
