Just a short note here to thank everyone for their generous contribution to the Thousand Pennies for Parkinsons campaign, out of the Parkinsaw, MI web site (www.mikeauldridge.com/parknsaw.htm). We've collected a total of 8,500 pennies from our virtual canisters to date, or for those who have trouble with math like I do, that turns out to be $85. Not too shabby. I just got back in town after caring for my mom who recently broke her hip, so the checks received will be sent to the Parkinsons Alliance tomorrow. I've asked them to keep track of these and future contributions in a Parkinsaw, MI category, but I know not whether they'll honor that request. So, ladies and gentlemen. thank you once again for your support. Don't forget to visit us from time to time, now that you're an Official Contributor. Stop in the Northern Lights microbrewery and enjoy a tasty bottle of Levalager, and listen to our local oldies but goodies band, the Dopaminos, play A Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On, and This is Medicated for the One I Love. Don't forget: Laughter is Powrful Medicine. John Bjork (60/20) A View from the Lighter Side of PD Parkinsaw, MI
