My Weekly Reminder

Legendary baseball player, Babe Ruth, struck out 1,330 times during his Major League career, but he’s not remembered for that.  What he is remembered for are the 714 home runs that he hit.  In the same way, Thomas Edison isn’t remembered for the 3,000 failed tries on his way to inventing the first successful lightbulb, he’s remembered for inventing the lightbulb.  The only time failure counts against us is if we try something once, fail and then quit–people do remember quitters.  On the other hand, if you try, fail and keep trying, you’ll find that people will admire you for your courage.  As author, Tom Hopkins put it, “I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed; and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep trying.”

I Need Your Help!

I am a member of an organization called The Governors and we are busy planning our 21st annual fundraising event, the Governors’ Ball.  As a part of this event, we sponsor a raffle to increase the proceeds given to our beneficiaries–the primary beneficiary being Banner Children’s Hospital at Banner Desert Medical Center.

This year’s raffle is for a ten day/nine night exotic Mexican Rivera Cruise for two or you may take a cruise of your choice of equivalent value. The Mexican Riviera trip includes the following:

     -Round trip airfare for two to Los Angeles
     -Overnight stay at the Hollywood 
       Renaissance Hotel
     -Dinner for two at the famous Brassire
      Vert by Wolfgang Puck
     -Transportation for airport to hotel and
       hotel to port
     -Eight day Mexican Riviera cruise with ports 
      of call at: Acapulco, Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, 
      Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas
     -Balcony room on the Norwegian Star
     -$500 spending cash
 
      Only 1,000 raffle tickets will be sold.   

      Raffle tickets are $50 each or 5 for $200!

The winning ticket will be drawn at the Ball on May 5, 2006.  You need not be present to win.

Please let me know if you are interested in supporting this wonderful cause through the purchase of raffle tickets.  If you would like to attend the Governors’ Ball, please let me know as well, and I will see that you receive an invitation!  To view a flier with more detailed information, please click on the link below.
