This is an incredible charity event to support our troops overseas. The event will be hosted by Gina at Clicks Billiards in Phoenix. The fundraiser will be going on all day from 11am to 10pm so show up whenever you can and bring a friend. There will be music, bellydancers, all sorts of contests and games, etc.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will help support the Packages from Home charity which supplies troops overseas with just about anything that can be put in a box from food items to comic books, games etc.

The fundraiser is being held in honor of LCpl Richard Scott Bailey (Scotty) who was killed a few weeks ago shortly before he was to go to Iraq. His mother and family are very involved with Packages from Home, and his mom had planned to spend her time volunteering there while he was away.

It would mean alot to her and everyone involved if they had a huge turnout at Clicks.

All proceeds will be donated in memory of LCpl Bailey to benefit Packages From Home and the troops overseas that they support.

    Yes, it's me again....please go to www.packagesfromhome.org Sadly, four Arizona soldiers lost their lives recently....Packages From Home would like to raise enough money to send 1,000 care and comfort to the service men and women who served with these brave soldiers...G-d bless them all..... Adding to the mix....Gina is moving to Indiana.....We have good reason to party that we have our freedom, to help soldiers and to say good bye to Gina who we love very much.
