A Bar Games Success Story

The Sweet Charity event on July 31 at Finnerty's raised over $1100 in support of bone marrow testing! Thanks again to our faithful supporters.

We are also happy to announce our Bar Games winner... the exceptionally loyal Sweet Charity supporters Team Soccer Crazy! Buoyed by Leon's first-place time in the knock-over-the-water-bottle-with-pantyhose-and-a-tennis-ball game, Brent, Leon, Nathan and Tom defeated 7 other teams to win the Best Bar Gamers Ever title. (They no doubt got an additional boost by bringing their own fight songs.)

It was a very close battle as Team Soccer Crazy beat Team Y & Z (Huy, Darley, Liz, Maz) by only two points and Team Flava (Gary, Amanda, Joe, Lex) by four points.

Honorable Mention goes to Team Y & Z for placing first in the indoor-version beer relay, to Team Flava's Gary the Flash Matrix for pinning the nose on that clown better than anyone else, to Keryn, who just got engaged, and to Andi, who is finally getting her feet fixed!

From all of us at Sweet Charity, thank you, congratulations, and we look forward to seeing you next month!

Bar Games Field Day

Oh, there will be MORE . . .

On Your Mark

Get Set . . . Go!!

The July Sweet Charity is scheduled for Thursday, July 31st.

We will be raising money for the National Marrow Donor Program:



Each month, the NMDP conducts nearly 900 bone marrow drives across the country -- 300 of which are coordinated on behalf of individual patients. SC learned about this organization through a drive to benefit a 23-year-old named Matthew Hines, who works at Deutsche Bank.

We are hoping to find a bar with outdoor space. By then, maybe the ridiculous heat will have died down :)

STD with location, drink specials, etc. coming soon!!

Go Team!

2 - 4 - 6 - 8. Who do we appreciate?

YOU!!

Thanks to everyone who came to Dempsey's Pub for last night's Sweet Charity! With your help, we will be donating $1,820 to Team For Kids. Yay!!

Thirsty?

26 is . . . 

- the number of letters in the English alphabet;

- the minimum number of moves needed to solve a Rubik's Cube;

- the atomic number of iron (Fe); and

- the number of miles in a marathon!

And, it's also the day in June that we all get together to show support for 2 Sweet Charity veterans -- Alicia MAZurek & Anna Chai -- who are running the 2008 NYC Marathon to raise money for Team For Kids.

WHEN:  Thursday, June 26th @ 6pm

VENUE:  Dempsey's Pub

There's talk of making it a real drink-athon . . . Are you up for 26.2 fluid ounces?

On Deck

On patio. Or, even just outside. That's the plan for the next happy hour. 

We're thinking Thursday, June 26th -- that way, folks heading out-of-town can still attend your favorite monthly charity event :)

More soon . . .

Grazie

I am pleased to announce that we raised $1274 for "Feed The Kids." Plus, 6 boxes of cereal and a dozen cans of vegies! Those funds will be matched, thanks to one of our generous supporters, and so City Harvest will get a cool $2500!

Thanks to all who came to Slate Plus for the last happy hour! And, stay tuned . . . we're going to reveal details about the next happy hour very soon :)
