Batgirl got a letter from the director of the Minnesota Stroke Foundation. May is Stroke Awareness Month, and the foundation will be auctioning off a truly fabulous baseball quilt that has been signed by all the Twins. (View the quilt here.)
Tickets for the raffle are $2 and can be purchased by calling 763-553-0088 or visiting StrokeMN.Org. The drawing will be June 1.
In addition, the foundation is sponsoring a Strides for Stroke Walk on June 4th at the State Capitol. John Gordon and his wife Nancy will be the honorary walk leaders.
cool! thanks for the heads-up.

That thing's going on my wall if I win it!
I'm wondering which of the Twins is lying on the ground off to the right of the frame. Justin? Not again!!!

Posted by: Me at May 12, 2005 11:46 AMI hear that LNP has forgone regular showers in order to repel any hungry opponents.
Posted by: Me at May 12, 2005 11:49 AMBut unshowered LNP is just additional flavor to a High Life man, like Colon or Sabathia.
Posted by: Franorama at May 12, 2005 12:29 PMI guess it's a good thing Tumbleweed is on her way back to Minnesota to protect LNP. I imagine he's smelling pretty ripe by now.

Posted by: Stacy at May 12, 2005 02:07 PMLet's home they never set up a similar website for the state of Maine.
Actually the domain's probably already taken, but I can't check now--I'm at work.
Posted by: ss at May 12, 2005 03:44 PMss, why would it be bad to have a National Stroke Association website for Maine?
oh, hahahahaha... holy shit. took me a minute. but I get it now. ;)
good one.
Posted by: kafumbly at May 12, 2005 04:39 PMSS -- Y'know, I checked that link, and there wasn't anything there. I'm kind of disappointed.
And I, too, though that was Justin fallen down.
Posted by: CarrieIC at May 12, 2005 05:25 PMFour years ago I had the chance to buy a quilt made of 1987 and 1991 Homer Hankies in a very cool, Twins-themed design. I was a poor college student working at a Bible camp, and had no money, but I wanted the quilt so much that my friends each volunteered to pay $50 to help me. I almost made it, but when it got to over $350, I just couldn't do it.
That was the best quilt I've ever seen in all my days, and it makes me sad all over again that I couldn't get it.
I'll try to win this one.
