RE: thanks
yeah, if you were planning to get gas on Broadway, you'll have to make other plans.

Hopefully she's ok and nobody else got hurt.

Benefit for victim, co-owner of The Wildrose
Just received this announcement from a reliable source via email and thought folks might be interested in attending the benefit. I'm passing the message on exactly as it was received.....

"According to Shelly Bothers one of the co-owners of The Wildrose: Martha Manning, Wildrose co-owner, was badly burned at the gas pump. Martha was pumping gas and a car rammed the pump. Martha's pants caught fire. She extinguished the flames, ran back to the car grabbed out her little precious chihuahua, Honey. Ran away from the fire and the car's gas tank exploded. Martha has been in the hospital for over two weeks now. Her burns are requiring grafting. Martha's dog did not even suffer smoke inhalation.


The Wildrose will be closed, for one night only.

FUNDRAISER
