And if the hot dog and brat meals are not enough to get you to swing through Midtown for lunch -  the amazing outfit I have should be...Thank you to my thrift-shopping-partner-in-crime - I have one heck of an outfit for this event!

Pinwheels...

As we continue our fundraising efforts for 2014 - 21 Families, we invite all of you to help support our Cancer Blows project.  Each year we sell pinwheels in honor of / in memory of someone.  The pinwheels are then placed along the race course at the event on Saturday - June 21.  If you are interested in purchasing pinwheels - selling pinwheels - or just more information - please click HERE.

Pinwheels are $5 each.

If you are interested in selling the pinwheels and would like to have a pinwheel bouquet (see below) for your desk, please email me and I will deliver one (Rachel - TeamVogelvsCancer@gmail.com).

Prom...

Prom season...  Not having children (well I have one that some people do not consider a child - Miss Zoe) of my own - I find myself reflecting on where time has gone through other kids (young adults) in my life.  It is still hard for me to believe my niece (truly more like my little sister) will be able to drive this year...went to the prom...has developed a sense of humor that is sooooo much like Joe's...

She made the comment to her mom awhile back - "Mom, I really miss Joe.  I think he would think I'm super funny."  Miss K. - he would definitely think your super funny and I just laugh - tear up - thinking of the two of you in the same room cracking jokes.

Here are a few pictures of an amazing young lady that I am proud to call my niece...my little sister.  (And as scary as this is...Kirsten - you are a lot like me :))

Kirsten, Me and Joe...He always seems to show up at the Weifenbach House.

What would prom be without a picture with the dog.

I don't think a caption is needed here...

...and a Thought.

A reading that my mom has hanging in her kitchen.  A pretty interesting perspective...

Before I sign off - I saw this and couldn't resist...
Picture
My diamond - Zoe - has developed a new trick this week...She can whistle through her nose.  Now don't be alarmed or too amazed, I'm thinking she just has allergies and a little nasal blockage (according to google).  I wish I could say I taught her this new trick - but no such luck.  And if I had taught her this trick - I definitely wouldn't have taught her to whistle while we're trying to fall asleep.

All in all - I still love this whistling gal.  She's a gem!

Cheers and hoping for some sunshine this weekend.

4th Annual Golf Outing Review...

What a weekend...A weekend full of family, friends and fun to say the least.  Although the weather decided to shower us a little - during the 4th Annual Team Vogel vs Cancer Golf Outing - it didn't damper the spirits of any involved.  Thank you to everyone who helped make this event happen.

Jeff Hubbard - thank you for all your efforts organizing this again...  

Rod and Cedar Valley - thank you for always welcoming us and hosting an amazing afternoon of golf on behalf of Team Vogel...  

To all the local businesses who sponsored a hole, donated prizes, and provided snacks...  

Everyone who made it out for 18 holes of golf...

The Groups that worked the hole events...

THANK YOU!

Thank you for coming together to raise over $7,000 on Saturday. AMAZING!

And of course - what would an event recap be without pictures...

After viewing this picture, it became obvious that my uncle (in Red) is a Super Hero (he is definitely not trying to suck in his stomach...).

Is it a bad thing that your 10 year old nephew has better form?

Nature at its finest...Who knew there was a golf tournament going on :).

It's time to put on your rally cap (or caps) and help celebrate 5 years of Team Vogel.

$5 on 5/5 and CWC Thank You!...

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who embraced the $5 on 5/5 challenge - the cold water challenge.  The spirit behind the event is amazing.  A community of friends, family, co-workers... coming together to help local charities and do something spontaneous.  I am honored - proud to share - at this time Team Vogel has received $2,500 from these challenges.  This is amazing!

Thank you for helping one man's dream continue on and "Pay it Forward" to 21 Families this year.

(Stay tuned - Zoe was just reading over my shoulder and she's interested in doing a thank you photo session I guess.)

...and Later this Week - JOIN THE TEAM.

Picture
As we gear up for the 5th Annual Team Vogel vs Cancer Fundraiser - we invite all of you to join the Team.  Stay tuned for multiple ways to get involved!

A Quick Note...and Celebrating 5 Years.

5/4/2014

A Quick Note...

If this is your first time visiting the Team Vogel Blog - take a moment to scroll down to last week's (4/28/14) blog post welcoming all new visitors.  Or if you are daring - jump right in and read on...

...and Celebrating 5 Years.

In celebration of Team Vogel's 5th Year - we ask all of you to celebrate with us and give $5 on 5/5 for our 5th year (After this year we will have helped 55 Families - AMAZING!)

So - we had the idea to roll out the $5 on 5/5 prior to the "Cold Water Challenge".  I thought I would be safe, for I do not have Facebook - but I was not...ENJOY!
Click here to donate to the $5 on 5/5 Challenge

Again - I can not THANK everyone enough for including Team Vogel in this.  

Now - a little humor for all.  Prior to doing the video, I had talked to Zoe to see if she would be willing to model and be featured for the $5 on 5/5 Challenge.   After a little discussion, I got her to agree!  She is a true champ to say the least.
Picture
Zoe didn't know she could just click a button and donate. She got her checkbook out. (The Winning Photo - I think she's even smiling...)
And the other photos...

You may think she is blinking - but she isn't. My model got a little sleepy during the shoot. As my Grandpa puts it best - she was "just resting her eyes".
Signing off for the week and to many of you - enjoy the refreshing dip in the water.

-Rach

PS - Just for the record, I did a research jumping into cold water prior to my adventure :).
