If it is the first weekend in August then it is the Joedance Film Festival at the 10th Street Townhouses. It takes most of us to pull it together. Dave Park does the DVD/sound system, we do the hot dogs, Mollie does the popcorn. Every movie is screened and reviewed by us and then Julie Marr miraculously produces a spectacular flyer announcing the movies.
And you all came rain or shine. The first night was in our house and the second night was outside under a very cloudy night and unbearable humidity. But you came to raise money for The Rare and Complex Cancer Fund, which needs funds so desperately. We were dealt the hand of cards of osteosarcoma with Joe, a rare cancer, hard to survive and has very little funds for research. We appreciate every dollar donated to this cause. And over the years a less severe way to treat osteosarcoma may be available. And maybe there will be one less mom sitting in a parking lot as I did trying to figure out how to save their son's life. That is my hope.
