Not everything was that bad yesterday. Despite Penguins loss people from NYC Penguins Meetup still had smiles on their faces at the end of the game in Foley’s Pub. Why?! Thats because we have raised $1500 US Dollars for Mario Lemieux Foundation! Last year we raised $500 dollars and another $500 was donated by Shaun Clancy, owner of Foley’s Pub. This year we raised 3 times as much money with only efforts of people that come to meetup! This is a huge milestone for us in our goal to get Mario Lemieux to come out to NY and visit us at Foley’s one day! As a special thanks MLF agreed to send us his autographed jersey which was raffled last night. Although there were no losers last night as this fund raises was a win-win situation for all the present parties, I would like to extend a big congratulation to Cara and her mom, one of the organizers for the meetup group. Cara, i hope your mom doesn’t read my crappy blog. Thats because Cara’s mom has donated some money and her lucky ticket was picked out of the steel bucket. Cara decided not to tell her mom just yet but will surprise her with the jersey for Christmas. Cara told us that her mom is a HUGE Mario fan so this will be a very special surprise indeed.
Congratulation to us all! Lets Go Pens!!!
