Last week I failed to mention what a large part the Pleasure Guild of Nationwide Children's Hospital plays in the Spagio Celebration. And it's not that the women volunteered all those hours just for us, for our family, but in a way it feels like they did, so I regret not having mentioned them before. What's remarkable is that their gathering of chefs from across the globe was just a "small" fundraiser, that their largest one, an annual production, is still coming up.
The Pleasure Guild is the oldest women's auxiliary of Children's Hospital, dating back to 1908. The "funny name" comes from even earlier days when women provided little items or treats called "pleasures" to children in the hospital. Now the organization is dedicated to raising funds for the hospital’s Hospice and Palliative Care Program.
Next week, the Pleasure Guild will present Meredith Willson's The Music Man, March 12th,13th and 14th at the historic Palace Theater in downtown Columbus.
If you're local, and you're interested, tickets can be purchased through all TicketMaster locations and at www.ticketmaster.com.

Very cool! Wish we were a little more local. I would love to go to "Music Man." Cora loves to play the piano too!
Hey, I've heard Tucker play the piano...and the beat sounded a lot like "a cricket with restless leg syndrome." Rod is one of the best and I don't think that even he will be able to help that boy.

Question(PJWUWDQ)#16...How come people don't believe(the TRUTH) when I tell them that the 4 inch scar on my leg was caused by being kicked by a cow BUT when I say it's from a shark bite, they buy right into it??? I LIVE IN WEST VIRGINIA-do the math people!
