So Sunday June 14th, 2009 Bender Brunch was an amazing success. The turnout was awesome, and all the food donated by the restaurants was fantastic. There was rice, beans, ham, some mexican dish thing, sausage, cookies, cake, brownies, cookies, apple and raspberry pastry things, cookies, and mimosas! All of the bender staff donated their time and energy and worked hard from 7am till 3:30pm setting up, cleaning up and breaking down for the brunch, they all came back an hour later and worked the regular sunday hours with out skipping a beat. The Thomas family would like to thank them all for everything they have done and especially Janie Barger for making the whole event possible. She, along with Julie Weber from Mothers Market, worked together as an amazing team lining up all the food and help to make the event run smoothly. Janie made a few calls and got a few special guest to make an appearance which included Bob Yant, http://www.fscip.org/Yant.htm and Dr. Suzy Kim http://www.healthgrades.com/directory_search/physician/profiles/dr-md-reports/Dr-Suzy-Kim-MD-E00B240A.cfm who are great recourses for SCI and are familiar with Jay's condition and a surprise appearance was also made by our friends at New Beach Alliance as well. Jay was excited to see everyone that showed up and barley had time to eat himself. Thanks to everyone for their hard work and donations. It is greatly appreciated. Here are a few pictures from the brunch.
