With thanks to Roadwar & others....

The suggestion was made to have our gathering at Doc's in Livonia. So, the plans are set!

April 20th, between 6:30 & 7:00pm until ???.

Dinner, drinks & fun!

We have a semi private area, you can order off the menu and we will have separate checks.

If I have your email address, I will email you all tomorrow. If you do not get an email from me tomorrow, please email me, as there are about 5 or so email addys I cannot read.

Or you can reply to this thread that you will attend so I have a head count.

This is where we will be meeting at (click here)  http://www.docssportretreat.com/

Looking forward to seeing you once again and or meeting you for the first time!

Regards,
~Dana

April Gathering!

I am trying to put together a gathering for April 20th, around the Livonia, Novi, Plymouth area or the like. Most likely around 6:30/7:00pm until ???

I have the book with about 30+ email addresses that was passed around at the Anchor Bar. Which I plan on emailing everyone shortly (within the week).

I am looking for suggestions from you all. My train of thought was finding a place that has a either private or semi private room, that everyone can order off the menu (not banquet style), unless that is what you all would like??? Going banquet style is normally a set price per person. 

If you were NOT at the Anchor Bar and or I DO NOT have your email address, please email me at: 
shefrog@comcast.net

Also, any suggestions you may have about a meeting place, please leave a comment and I will call around and see what can be done. 

Please leave a comment if you will be attending as well, so I have an idea about how many people are interested in attending. 

Thank you & looking forward to seeing you again, or meeting you for the first time!

Regards,
~Dana

PS (Jim told me to make sure to let him & Tresa know when and where it will be held at) 






Hahaha...

Really...I mean really???? WOW!!!

Also I would like to add that for the charity, Eagle Scout Club, we raised over $1,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!

I will ask Jim in a week or so what the total was, as a few other donations are coming in!

Each and ever one of you should be proud! I know I am :-)



I have not been home long...

About 40 minutes now after the Freep Gathering. (Do not let the term "gathering" fool you, it was a party, hehe). As I feel I know exactly what I want to say, I, YES I, am at a loss for words. ~contain yourself kids, it CAN happen~ :-)

I can say THANK YOU, THANK YOU and THANK YOU, over and over and over again. After awhile it does not take on such a meaning anymore, as the 1st thank you. The 4th the time might seem old...but what if you had...wait, wait for it...... 

The 4th stated TRIPLE, TRIPLE, TRIPLE THANK YOU!!!!!! Now see, THAT has meaning!

Everyone that I met this evening (and I SO did not even get to meet maybe half of you amazing people ~sad face here~) I am SO honored to be a part of this great group of people. The generosity that was shown, with BOTH the wishing well and the raffle....blew me away! YOU ....all of YOU ROCK the D and all of Michigan! (And not to forget our Canadian friends too :-) We are an amazing state!

I witnessed, everyone also sharing many laughs, opinions, warm greetings, giggles, etc...even the camera men & women as well as the other reporters that were there were chuckling ...yes, we saw that! Which is another point that was clear that they really love their careers and it shows. If we could ALL be that lucky to have a career we adore..........

Anyhow….getting way off base here. So let me say what I really came here to say.

I AM ARETHAS GAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

*LMFAO* Gotcha! Just kidding...

I truly wanted to express and *HUMBLY* say that I request to go hom   .......oh wait...that is wrong too!

OK..here goes......

~sigh~ Ready......let's get “US” some...Oh damn, wait it's NOT that kind of Blog…wait wrong again.....One more try, ok?

None of this could have been DONE without each and every one of you AMAZING people. For that I am grateful!

I really do honestly; thank each of you for being your soooo very generous selves. 

This is the true meaning of "Paying it Forward" and not "Taking for Oneself".

~Dana

PS(I thought I had posted this last night when I arrived home...only to find it in my drafts. Oops...my bad!)

KK newest email to C-Wright, March 9, 2013

Kilpatrick sent this email to his parole agent Thursday:
“I have not been home since January 2, 2013. As you know as we have discussed on numerous occasions, I have a family. I am married, and have been blessed with 3 wonderful sons. As you know, there are many pressures on families in our society today, i.e., Financial, Emotional, Environmental, etc. My family has not been immune from these normal pressures that must be endured for successful families to prosper. And now added to these well established challenges there are many more my family has to endure at this time, as you may well know. We have always been able to make it through these things together.
I have been prevented from traveling home since January 9, 2013. It has been said that this sanction was given as to thoroughly investigate my finances and financial transactions. During this time of “investigation” I have been placed on house arrest, and my movement has been all but halted. Meanwhile, the “investigation” sprouts new tentacles that move in different directions, more divergent inquiries, and an increased scope of time for investigation subjects, which of course has caused the “investigation” to be extended on numerous occasions.
Kwame Kilpatrick, wife Carlita and their three sons.
Kwame Kilpatrick, wife Carlita and their three sons.
C-Wright, you have a habit of saying that you are “dotting your i’s” and “crossing your t’s”. You have told me that you accept full responsibility for all of the decisions that are being made in this “investigation.” So I humbly ask, have your requests for exact dates of financial transactions, flight buddy passes, a stop at a restaurant on the way to home base, etc, outweighed your community supervision and parole agent mission of helping the parolee to reconnect to family and community? Has it outweighed your mission to support the parolee in making the successful adjustment to parole? Has your willingness to “dot and cross” blurred your focus on the fact that you are responsible for making decisions that substantially affect real human beings (wife, children, family, community), whom are not on parole? Has your fear of public and media scrutiny moved you to make decisions that are within a vacuum of self-preservation? I pray that without pretense, pride, ego and a strong sense of real honest thought, you answer these questions.
After speaking with you on yesterday, it seems that you have formed in your own mind, that much of this action is justified by the “Special Conditions” that I have of my parole. YOU and your colleagues at the MDOC are the totalitarians of my parole, and authors of my written instructions. If you want certain information from me, without any confusion, write those instructions into the special conditions. You have not done that! You have instead conformed and deformed words to mean what you want them to mean. That is not only inappropriate, its wrong. And yes, C-Wright, the continuation of an “investigation” with a blurred focus of what it is attempting to discover, no understanding of the timeliness of its conclusion, a clear understanding that it has no focus on a new crime, gun, assault or any other action that would give rise to incarceration, and a continuing strategy of keeping me on house arrest as well as preventing me from seeing my family, is WRONG.
Kilpatrick's family is living in this 5,000-square-foot home in Grand Prairie, Texas.

Even after the media shared your emails, and stories ran last week on all three local TV news channels, several Michigan Newspapers, a plethora of radio stations and many blogs reported stories of “Kwame Kilpatrick begging to go home,” I am renewing my request to do so. As I have previously stated, I am a human being. I am spiritually, emotionally and have familial attachment to 4 people that love me very much. My home is in Texas. I am not requesting to travel anywhere else. I want to go home. Again, I am not a flight risk, I pose no threat to the public, and I must return for federal court jurisdiction by Monday morning. Your “investigation” will not be halted, or hindered by my going home. I humbly request that the larger issues of parole, i.e., safety of the public, rehabilitation, reconnection, successful adjustment, and yes, even understanding that parolees are human beings, outweigh any notion of personal scrutiny, fear, and self-preservation.”
Kilpatrick’s parole agent refused to lift the travel ban. Kilpatrick stays in Detroit this weekend — verdict or no verdict, according to the emails.

So a few comments here...Notice the clapping then followed by a bay crying @ 2:24? Not really a *Full House* either. LOL And does it look like KK had some upper front teeth work done? Wonder who paid for that? Video was uploaded on October 27, 2008. But when it was actually recorded is unknown???? (Do not see a wedding ring in this video, I could have missed it, so before Carlita & him were married? Also, what about the choice of song here? "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" Yikes!!!

Humbly ask??? Really???

Someone sure likes the word(s): Humbly/Humble, and 3 years (+) later in his emails to "C-Wright" or respectively Charles Wright, his parole officer, KK still loves those words! Must have learned them in law school? But it is working? Ummmm C in tax law, so I guess not. But this is about being truly HUMBLE right? RIGHT???????
