2008 Primo Fest
In my 9/2/08 online journal entry, I wrote about a dozen external events. Almost all of these events involve the heavy work of other parties, which is a personal thrill to watch. Here is the latest from the infamous Mike Collette of the Garfield Cadets back in the mid-1980's, who are as close to me as family. This is their way to help this site raise monies for brain cancer in 2008.Saturday, November 1 – Sunday, November 2, 2008Where monies will go
The Celebration includes Limousine-Chauffeured Wine Tour, Costume Ball, Tour of Niagara Falls and Visit to the Niagara Falls Casino

Noon. Wine tour- Meet in front of the hotel to depart on a wine tour in a fleet of limousines and limousine buses donated by my company, Mac Limousine. The "Niagara Wine Trail" wine tour offers traditional and fruit wines from the region, and includes a tranquil limousine ride through the picturesque escarpment area, rich in history and wonderful vineyards. One of the wineries is the famous Marjim Manor, featured in this season's Sci-Fi hit show "Ghost Hunters."

I should take a moment to explain that no monies will be going to me personally. 38 Lemon is a separate entity from me, and I receive no salary from this organization. $0.00 is how much money I have every received in salary from 38 Lemon.
Instead, all the monies would be going to support the mission of "Brain Tumor Awareness -- from a Patient's Perspective." This is receiving international attention, but it has certainly cost a great deal of money to create the website at a world-class level. We have had some great patrons for 38 Lemon to date, but this event certainly has the potential to help in this effort and reach even more people.
Bottom line
And if all else fails, there is wine to sooth our spirits. How in the heck can we lose on this one, a day after Halloween?
