And you thought May was crazy...

We have lots of stuff going on next month, so we wanted to send an email out to touch base. So get your calendars out and mark these dates down!

Wednesday, June 4 - Peggy's Birthday and Peggy's Room Spring Cleaning

This is Peggy's actual birthday. Marvel will be getting Peg up in the chair around 2 and our plan is to spring clean Peggy's room! We have big plans for the room that Peggy is excited about...the creation of the Peg's Legs Café! Our plan is to clear out the back corner of the room and create a "café" for all the hardworking caregivers and visitors...

Peggy's vision is to have a coffee maker, a mini fridge, a water jug (hot/cold), and lots of goodies (with airtight containers of course!). Peggy loves the idea of being able to offer caregivers and guests coffee and snacks (she's always been the best hostess!) We're looking for donations and volunteers for this project - please see me if you want to help with this fun one!

Adnd on June 4 - please come by to visit Peggy to wish her a happy birthday (and distract her from the cleaning going on in her room!) or to help us clean and set up the Café!


Sunday, June 8 - It's High Tea for Peggy's Birthday

This year for her birthday, Peggy has requested a tea party! We had a fun time spelling out "high tea" - we had first spelled out "Highschool Musical" then "hijackers"...we're glad it is actually "High Tea"!

So please come by June 8th from 3pm to 7pm for Peggy's Birthday Tea Party! We'd love to have volunteers to bring some dishes (cucumber sandwiches, scones, etc.) and help with decorations, set up, and of course clean up! Please let us know if you'd like to help with this one.

And at this party we will be presenting her with her surprise gift...shhhhhhh...if you're reading this to Peggy right now...shhhhhh!!!!! Come and read your contribution in person! We're also working on getting copies made for those of you who contributed!


Saturday/Sunday, June 21/22 - Peggy Chun Art & Yard Sale

We're doing another Art & Yard Sale Fundraiser!!! The last one was so successful and so fun, we figured - let's do it again!!! There will be another opportunity to win a limited edition giclee. So start your spring cleaning and donate your unwanted items to help raise money for Peggy's medical expenses!

We'll be accepting donations starting June 1. This time we are cleaning out the garage and hoping to store everything in the garage/cottage area instead of the front room since we have Peg's room cleaning and birthday planned!


Last, but not least, many of you have been asking what to get Peggy for her birthday...First, we'd like to say that your friendship, time, and love are really all she needs. And of course, donations towards medical expenses are always appreciated.

However, beyond that, if you're interested, we have started a wish list of items that could help with some of the projects we're working on...please be sure to touch base with me first if you would like to help with anything on the wish list so that we don't double purchase items!


Peggy's Wish List:

New rug for under Peggy's Bed
Mini Fridge for Caregivers (for Peg's meds and caregiver lunches)
Coffee Maker for Peggy's Room
Vacuum cleaner with HEPA filter
Water jug (hot/cold)
New air conditioner for Peggy's room
