GREAT NEWS!!! THIS JUST IN GREAT NEWS!!!
Dear Team Leaders,
The Senate of the United States works in strange and wonderful ways. Late this afternoon we were notified that Senator Jack Reed planned to bring the Caroline Pryce Walker Conquer Childhood Cancer Act to the floor of the Senate to see if it would pass by unanimous consent. I am so pleased to let you know that there were no objections.
The bill passed.
Tomorrow we will send out the official press release but tonight I wanted to you to know how grateful I am for the hard work you have all done to make this happen. This is historic and you should all be very proud that you have had a part in changing the world for children with cancer.
My very best,
Kate

TEAM UNITE! Help Conquer Childhood Cancer!
Dear Kim,
That is GREAT news! Has the Bill passed the House of Representatives? Lets all now pray that President Bush will sign the Bill that provides the money for the medical research which we all hope will find a cure for children with cancer.
Shall we start a letter writing campaign to President Bush?

Hi there Team Hannah!
I am glad to read that bill passed, hopefully now we can see some results! Yeah!
So.. I love the shamu pics. When we went there in January, Kasey and his dad sat down in the soak zone... NOT ME! Me and Colbey stayed wayyy back. They really got soaked. They were dripping wet after the show.
I see that your Yankee's picked up one of my favorites! Richie Sexson. He is an awesome first basemen. Super Tall! The kids have life size posters of him in their room! Freaked Colbey out one night, thought someone was standing in his room.LOL He isn't hitting worth a darn, so maybe your batting coach or the pinstripes will change all that. Seems we lose all our good ones to those Darn Yankees. My last favorite first basemen was John Olerude, He was the first player I ever seen hit for the cycle. You guys got him too when his contract was up with the M's.. then I think he retired.
Glad to read that the summer is full of fun and sun. Our has been pretty darn nice too so far.
You have to get some more pics of the kids in that awesome pool. They need fuity umbrella drinks too.
Have a good weekend..
Amy... Kasey's mom
