Some Exciting News!!

I know last year many of you said that you wished there had been an opportunity to tour St Jude. Well, I have some good news for all of the marathon participants! I have set up a private tour just for Team Ethan. I realize that we can not pick a time that will work with everyone's schedule, however I hope by posting this early enough that those of you who really want to include the tour on your trip this year, you will be able to fit it in your travel schedule. As of right now, I have set it up for around 1:00 p.m. on Friday, December 5, 2008. The time is not set in stone, but the date pretty much is. This may work very well for you to tour the hospital and be there to pick up registration packets. Then we would have time to get back to the hotel for the Welcome Reception and then meet for dinner together. Dinner plans are still up in the air, but we'll get more info on dinner plans later. If you will be joining us for the tour of St Jude, please send me an email by December 1, 2008 so I can let our wonderful tour guide know how many to expect. This is one you will not want to miss. Melba does a fantastic job with her tours and we can include Target House if time permits and you want to do that too.

A reminder: For the paypal button to work, you must sign in from the www.teamethanpowell.blogspot.com If you came to this page from Ethanpowell.com, the paypal button will not work for you.

*** Also, please take a minute and go back over the past post. We have dates to keep in mind. Don't forget hotel reservations, these rooms are blocked on a first come first serve basis.

It's getting close!!!! Oh yea, don't forget to order your Team Ethan t-shirt. We will make a team picture and would love to have everyone in their Team shirt for the picture. Also, those of you who will not be able to join us in Memphis, we encourage you to please help support Team Ethan's goal by purchasing a shirt or two and wearing them in Little e's honor and memory on race day. You can be an honorary Team Ethan member!!

One more reminder ---For those not able to come, if you would like to help with our total amount of funds raised for Team Ethan, you may make a donation to the Team, by going to www.stjudeheroes.org/users/benpowell Thank you.

Keep up the good work with your training and your fundraising. It's not to late to keep registering members to our team either.

Go Team Ethan!!!
