A Big Thank-You

I promised you a YouTube link to granddaughter Kaity’s video filmed at the Frugal Birthday Open House.  As you can see, there were lots of laughs and hugs and photos as about 40 guests made their way into the party room during the two hours of fun and food.  Make-your-own mini-tacos, sweet desserts, and punch were enjoyed but the most important activity was mingling – making new acquaintances and renewing old friendships.

I would like to give a big shout-out to Lindsey Trujillo, the General Manager of the Tuscany Pub 365, who was a super party planner for this get-together in the adjoining event space. She suggested and organized the food and drink menu and worked with my daughter Angela to provide a beautifully decorated room. I would recommend her to plan any private event you might have in this multi-purpose room.

I want to thank everyone who came to the Open House and for the many cards they brought, with such thoughtful notes enclosed.  Those birthday messages plus so many that came via the Internet have blessed my heart – and will probably delay my retirement for umpteen years.  As long as people say my words are a big help to them, I’ll probably keep writing them!

P.S.  You probably won’t be surprised by this little note:  Yes, we could use the $1500 comp balance we had been carrying here for years even if we don’t play there regularly anymore.  Nothing like a party that was mostly comped!  (Be sure that you don’t lose any old comp balances at casinos where you don’t regularly play.  Check the club rules – but you usually need to put on at least a few points every 6-12 months so balance don’t disappear.)
