A Different Toy Story

Minding my own business and checking my emails I came across one from Jon Hulburd--he's running for Congress in Arizona's District 3 where I live.  And this wasn't the ordinary email from someone running for office.  There was no plea for money.  No begging for a vote.  No trying to talk me into phone banking in my spare time.  It was a request to donate toys to a local children's hospital.  Not just any local children's hospital.  My actual chidren's children's hospital (does that make sense?) 

So, I clicked on the link to make a pledge to donate toys.  And I wrote a little comment about why I would love to donate toys to Phoenix Children's Hospital.  And they asked me to share my (our) story.

Bar Mitzvah Information!

Changing gears a little bit, but it's time to start talking Brennan's Bar Mitzvah!

I found a wonderful locally owned hotel that will reserve a block of rooms for out of town guests!

The place is called The Clarendon Hotel and it is located about 4 miles from our house.  It's near the Phoenix Art Museum and Heard Museum.  It's also fairly close to our light rail. 

Here's the scoop:

When calling to make reservations give them this code:  BBMITZ (stands for Brennan's Bar Mitzvah!).
