It's the most wonderful time of the year

The holidays are about many things. It's a time when you consider those less fortunate than you. It's a time when--if you have kids--you can use a simple phrase to keep your kids in check (Thanks, good old St. Nick!). It's a time for giving, a time for receiving, a time for prayer, and a time for gathering. The holidays are also a time for something else.

Crawling...


I'm proud of my friend, Jeff Burd. He's a giver. He thinks of others before he considers himself. He tries very hard--every year for the past 10--to gather people together; in remembrance.

So this year, today even, when you are considering which organization to support, consider The James Francis Ryan Memorial Pub Crawl (http://www.cubsfan1.com/Pubcrawl/).

Feel free to make your pledge in person, or if that is not possible, call in your generosity. Just tell the friendly establishment's phone operator your order ("drinks are on me for the spirited folks on the pub crawl" is the easiest thing to say...have your credit card handy, including the three digit code on the back!).


Won't you support a worthy cause and make someone's holiday season that much more special?

Thank you...
