Christian Arnold benefit dates

Last night I attended a meeting to discus ways to raise funds to benefit Christian Arnold and his family. Two benefit dates are set as well as a date for further discussion on additional benefit dates.
The events scheduled as of last night are the following:

Grades and Grub Monday Feb. 9 from 5-8pm in the Gym at Eisenhower

This event is scheduled along with conferences so that parents and students as well as other well wishers can grab a bite to eat and participate in a few carnival style games.
Hot dogs, loose meat hamburgers and chips will be served for a FREE WILL offering. Fountain refreshments will be provided by Dr. Pepper/7up thanks to Jim Hopwood and baked goods will be available for sale as dessert. Dr. Pepper/7up is also providing 2 liter bottles of pop for a ring toss game. Other games and fundraising activities are still being setup.

Three X Wrestling Saturday Evening Feb. 28 in the Gym at the board office. (old Walsh Jr.Hi)

This event is being setup by Brian Dunn and will feature wrestlers in at least three events, maybe more. The people out of DesMoines that run Three X Wrestling are putting this event on as a fundraiser for Christian and as of last night, Brian conveyed that 100% of ticket sales would go to the family. Concessions will also be setup for the event.

Anyone who wants to help with fundraising efforts please contact Julie Lawrence at Eisenhower Elementary.
