Topic: Reno M&G Request for Special Olympian

Hay All! I am Street Teaming hard for the Reno show.  I have e-mailed Eric a M&G request for a big fan of Joes that is a Special Olympian, recognized as SO Maui Athlete of the year 2012 for his good sportsmanship & positive attitude.
Ryan Behn also brings that same quality to his community volunteering at a local senior center serving lunch. Ryan is a huge Joe B fan as is his Dad.
I have asked Eric to count any of my ST efforts towards the M&G for Ryan & is Family.  They are flying over to Reno from their home in Hawaii for the April 29th concert, which is also Ryan's Birthday, as a surprise for him.
The M&G will be the icing on the cake!
Asking all you Bona Buddies to put in your two cents on this and build some Grass Root support.

His folks, Libby & Rich, understand it's not a done deal until Eric contacts them, but they were very happy to have the effort made on Ryan's behalf.

Thanks are not enough!

Such a great gesture by you. How many meet and greets are you looking for?

Thanks for your interest!  3 M&G's so Ryan can be accompanied by his parents.  His Mom, Libby said that Ryan has a wealth of knowledge about Blues and musicians, so I would bet that Joe would enjoy talking w Ryan too.
Be well! Tahoe Jo

good to hear from you Tahoe Jo. i would suggest that if they don't hear from Eric to write back etc. sometimes things don't get to him and/or some days are busier than others. they ought to be able to give a definite yes or no but it may take a few emails.
I hope he gets it, good sportsmanship and positive attitude are excellent qualities!

Thanks for the tip & support Jane! LOVE the car as your Avatar.  I am a devoted fan of muscle cars! Making a point to get to the library more often to check on the thread.  Hope all is well w you!

Try calling him  954/428-4440.  Hard to get the office folks to pick up but worth a try.  Leave an urgent message and he may return the call.
