Imagine you were one of those folks evacuated in the rampant California wildfires. If you had only minutes to evacuate, what would you grab?
Let's do this like Wheel of Fortune and give everyone the following items:
loved ones & pets
important papers from your files
photos
What else?

Get Up & Dance
What are you doing Saturday, November 3rd?
Changing Focus is having a 30th Anniversary Benefit Gala from 6pm-10pm in Millersville. There will be a cash bar, catered dinner, motivational and historical speakers, and a DJ & dancing afterwards.
The only catch is that you have to reserve your ticket in advance. There is information on their website under Events. You need to sign up in advance to select your dinner option and reserve a space.
It will be only five days after I finally get this cast off my leg after six weeks, so I'm not sure how fleet-footed I will be on the dance floor. Nevertheless, I am really looking forward to giving it my best shot.
I hope to see some of you there!

Fun Times - Thanks to our Sponsors
I had such fun Friday night at our Suburban Singles night at Super Suppers in Crofton. Many thanks all around to our guests and our sponsors.
The sample foods provided by Super Suppers were delicious. I personally enjoyed the two braided bread items and it was a great opportunity to stock up my freezer with some dinners.
Our coffee sponsor, the Cosmic Bean, as always was an energizing perk. The wine tasting from Hops & Vines provided some tantalizing considerations too. Fortunate guests were happy to win a pound of coffee, a bottle of wine, and three lucky winners won gift certificates from Supper Supers.
We had some great door prizes from those sponsors plus a few others that were enviable winnings for some of our guests. Crofton Fine Art & Frame donated a $50 gift certificate that was won by our Mystery Barstool Contest winner, Mike Sweeney. Leslie Dolan was the lucky recipient of the leather bag of hair products and gift certificate from the Hair Experience. And Maris won the $50 ticket to the Changing Focus 30th anniversary dinner/dance next month, sure to be a lovely soirée. (More to come on that event.)
Everyone was so kind and helpful with the temporary incapacitation of my cast. So many helpful people out there! I know several guests went on to the dance at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Hopefully next month I can go out after with you all. It was great to meet so many of you.

New Contest
Ok, so I'm taking Mike up on his suggestion.
Leave your guess in the comments about how many guests will attend our Super Suppers event this Friday (tomorrow!). The person who guesses the closest to our actual number of guests will win one of Mike's overload of winning Mystery Barstool Contest prizes.
We had a great turn out last month at Crofton Fine Art & Frame - about 75 people. We have several of the same sponsors this time. You will be able to enjoy free samples from Super Suppers, or even put together dinners for your own freezer. There will be a free coffee tasting sponsored by the Cosmic Bean and a free wine tasting hosted by Odenton's Hops & Vines.
I will have door prizes from those folks, as well as another goodie bag from Crofton's The Hair Experience, Crofton Fine Art & Frame, and a ticket to a dinner dance hosted by Changing Focus this coming November 3rd. And I still have Four Season's
Supper Supers is on the north bound side of Rte 3 between Moni's and Jaspers. We should have plenty of parking.
I'll check my comments of Friday before I head over to the mixer for the latest guesses of number of attendees. We'll take the count at doorprize time!
I look forward to seeing you all there.
Bon Appetit!

Everyday Flirtations
Have you noticed my poll questions to the right of your screen?
Mike, our first Mystery Barstool Winner, suggested a singles event in a grocery store. Since I am laid up with my broken leg, I have not begun to shop around for a venue for such an event, but it sounds like a good idea to me. And it got me to thinking about the wonderful opportunities for flirting in a grocery store.
Did you ever see the Steve Martin/Rick Moranis movie, "My Blue Heaven"? Martin's character approaches a woman in frozen foods and says something like...
You better get outta this aisle.
What do you mean?
You are so hot, you could melt all this stuff.
I know, super corny. But maybe we could have corny pick-up lines on the door prize cards.
So what flirtatious comments could you make in a grocery store?
