I've been working hard on the Poker event. The designs for the invite, save the date, and envelopes went to the printer today. I have some concerns about them converting it from PC format to Mac format, but I'll figure out a Plan B if it comes to that. Invite should be going out to people in the mail late next week if all goes well.
I've also been gathering volunteers. This has been going well. I posted out on Craigslist and the response has been pleasantly surprised. I received a number of responses and even a few connections on auction items.
The committee is shooting to make this the biggest poker event yet. The Foundation's goal is $500k this year and the committee would love to see it be the first million dollar CFF event in Chicago. I think it's very possible.

Wine Event and Museum Event Update
Right now, Trisha is working with another CF mom on the Second Annual Museum Event at the Dupage Children's Museum. We ran it last year and it did very well for a local event, bringing in about $10k. It was a great event for parents and kids. This year, Trisha decided to hand over the event and move on to the Wine event. The Wine event has now been moved to late in the year to give it more planning and funding time.
The woman who took over the Museum event is doing a great job. She already has her funding in place, so anything she brings in now is going stright to the Foundation. It is scheduled for April 12, 2008 at the DuPage Children's Museum in Naperville on Washington.
