Mark your calendar to join us tonight,
Wednesday December 1, at 6pm in the
VIP room (upstairs on your left) of Sanctuary.
 
Our very Special Guests this week are Dax Logue
representing Kelli Neal.  Kelli is Dax's niece who is 
almost 4 months old and has lived on a respirator
since she was 5 hours old.  Kelli's lungs were badly
malformed and she is at St. Louis Children's Hospital
recovering from a successful lung transplant.  On
December 3,4, and 5, Dax (her uncle) and friends
will participate in the Kelli's Heroes Charity Bike Ride. 
To learn more about Kelli and her family go to:
 
 
The Neals received great news recently,  their insurance
will cover the estimated $300,000 to $500,000 transplant
operation. Kelli will be required to stay at the hospital
in St Louis for 3 months and in the St. Louis area an additional
3 months for continuous follow-up. This situation has put
a tremendous financial strain on the Neal family who live
and work in Phoenix.  Mom Neal will not be able to work
for the duration of their stay in St. Louis.  Dad will
continue to work in Phoenix and fly to St. Louis when
possible.  This coupled with the cost of running two
seperate homes and Dad's many trips to visit will place an
extreme burden on the Neal family. 
 
The Kelli's Heroes Bike Ride will consist of three legs
over three days. The riders will start out in Kingman and
end up at the Neal's home near 32nd St. and Shea in
Phoenix
 
Dax will be gathering sponsors and donations for the
ride.  Donors can contribute at a per mile, leg, or total
basis.  Donations will be gathered after the completion
of the ride.  All the money raised will go directly to the
Benefit Account for Kelli Neal.  If you would like to donate
directly to the fund, send checks made out to:
 
                Benefit Account for Kelli Neal
          Desert Schools Federal Credit Union
                        P.O. Box 2945
                  Phoenix, AZ 85062-2945
 
 
Since this is the season for giving we felt this would be
an opportune time to highlight a very worthy cause.
Please help us support a Special Friend of the Soiree.
