On November 7, 2011, our dear friend David Leahy passed away suddenly and tragically, leaving behind daughters Melissa, a senior at MHS, and Megan, a 7^th grader at WAMS.  David’s sole purpose in life was to nurture and care for his two daughters.  It was through his hard work, love and encouragement, that the girls have become the fine young women that they are today.  Please join us in not only remembering David Leahy but in continuing his passion and purpose in life, caring for and supporting his daughters. On Saturday, February 4, 2012, we are holding a Beef and Beer event at the Willow Brook Golf Club to benefit Melissa and Megan and theirs and David’s dream of continuing their education and to become the adults that David dreamed of.  David sacrificed so much for his daughters through the years and we ask that you join us now to honor him and to continue his goal of a college education for his daughters.
 
The event will include a live auction of items such as trips to Las Vegas and a cruise, and suites for upcoming Flyers, Soul and Wings games and silent auction items including several different sporting events, gift baskets, lacrosse gifts and training sessions, amongst many other items.  The attached flyer is a reminder of the date and place to post on your bulletin board.  A more complete invitation will be sent out in early January with more details on the event. 
 
If you would like to help prepare for the event, if you have an item you would like to donate to the auctions, or if you would like to have your email address added to the event database for direct communication about the event and updates on the auction items, please forward your info to one the event organizers listed below!
 
Thank you very much and we look forward to seeing you all on February 4^th!
