Whew! It was HOT down at Dugan's Pub last night!
Abbie, her daughter Katie and I ventured down there to get a copy of the Komen 2012 Calendar, which depicts 12 of LR's finest, and I do mean finest! firemen...
Ladies, if you have not gotten your calendar--you need to RUN to the Komen office and pick yours up! Or, you can go to the Arkansas Komen website (www.komenarkansas.org) to purchase them.
Then come to the next meet and greet event where the men are usually available to sign their pictures, flirt a bit, and give hugs.
The next opportunity to meet these hotties is:
October 6th
Bar Louie at Pleasant Ridge @ 5:30 p.m. til...
11525 Cantrell Road
Little Rock, AR 72211
They really are the nicest guys,and if you think none of these guys will ever show up at a fire, Mr. January was actually one of the responders at a fire at my old apartment complex a year or so ago.....so if you need some fires put out--chances are pretty good that one of them will be rushing to your aid!
Remember, Christmas will be here in THREE short months, so why not surprise your BFF with one of these calendars? (And put one in your own stocking!)
Cheers!

Buzz buzz buzz
Things are getting to be as busy as bees with Komen activities!
The warehouse is now astir with activities as volunteers are busy folding tee shirts and stuff envelopes, and the Race Space chair is looking for volunteers to man the Space when it opens October 7th.
This year both the warehouse and the Race Space will be conveniently located in one space: the old Post Office building behind the Pleasant Ridge shopping center off of Cantrell (Highway 10).
So, if you have time to help at either the warehouse or the Race Space, contact your Team Captain Kathy or the Co-Captain, me, and we will get you settled into the hive of activity!
Also, there will be plenty of buzzing around Dugan's Pub tomorrow night (9-15-11) about 7pm---those hotty worker bees, central Arkansas' finest Firemen, will be on hand to personally autograph your 2012 Komen calendar! What? You don't have a copy?? Well, come on down to 3rd and Rock streets, and for $15 each you can get your very own calendar! And, don't forget---they will make PERFECT Christmas gifts! And just think of how nice your wall will look all year long with 12 hunky firemen...
So-- volunteer at the warehouse, the Race Space, and then reward yourself with a calendar (or two) at Dugan Pub!

It's that time again.....
A message from Jill Winholt, this year's Race Chair:
Train for the Cure
Posted: 19 Aug 2011 11:21 AM PDT
Train for the Cure, sponsored by Weight Watchers, is a running and walking group designed to help get you ready for Race for the Cure. While training for the race, we'll also learn about proper shoe fit and exercise attire as well as how to properly stretch and cool down. But one of our biggest goals is to make it fun!
Interested? Read on!
Who is this for? Anyone interested in getting fit for the race and beyond! You must register for the Race and the Clinic. (There is a one time $10 clinic fee you will pay when you sign up.)
What is this? A fun, positive group atmosphere that will keep you motivated and on track with your exercise plan.
Where do we meet? At War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. Enter at the entrance directly off Fair Park.
When do we meet? Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 7 pm, beginning September 13 up until the race.
Why should you join? Why not?
Please remember, participants are responsible for bringing their own water.
Can't make it to the clinic? Gather your friends and play along at home! To do so, register for Race for the Cure online and also sign up for the "Virtual Train for the Cure". You will receive weekly emails that tell you what is going on at the clinic so you can do the same at home. There is no cost for the virtual clinic.
Let us know if you have questions.
BTW, just 64 days until the 18th Annual Komen Arkansas Race for the Cure!
Jill

I'd like to take this time to say goodbye, and *thank you* to our Co-Captain Suzie.
In the short time that she has been at the State Library, she has really contributed so much to our Library community.
And boy, is she good at coming up with ideas for fund-raising! For the Komen Race for the Cure, she and Kathy set a goal of $500, and with your generous donations to the Bake Sale and the Quilt Raffle, The Bookends have already gone past that goal--and it's not even our team deadline (which is next Friday, August 26th,BTW).
WOW!
And the beautiful quilts--my goodness! She has done not only 1 quilt for our team raffle, but she did one for the Pasta Party silent auction (which is on October 21st at Dickey Stephens Park; tickets $25, just in case you're interested), and she has also helped out with ideas and quilts for the NLR Friends of the Animals fundraisers (next one: August 27th, Grapes, Grains, & Growls at Woody's Sherwood Forest--tickets $25 each; see Wendy).
So thank you, Suzie, for all your donations, your giving of time & talent, and for just being you.
We will miss you!
