The Old Fashioned

I recently found out that The Old Fashioned designates a charity that they donate to every month.  They have chosen the Bram and Shari Dorresteijn Memorial Scholarship as the charity they will donate to for the months of May and June.  There are two things that contribute to the donation.  One is at brunch on Saturday (9am-12pm) and Sunday (9am-1pm) they do a craft cocktail where $1 from each drink will be donated, as well as the person will be entered into a meat raffle.  The other is a “shake of the day” at the bar every day for people to play dice for $1 to win free stuff.  All of the "shake of the day" money goes to the charity.  So if you get a chance to stop in (maybe you are at the farmers market) or are looking for a place to have brunch in May or June, consider going to The Old Fashioned and having a craft cocktail or doing the "shake of the day" to help our cause.

Crazylegs - Day of race details

Thanks to everyone that signed up for Crazylegs 2015 on the Dorresteijn Dashers team.  We have 134 people signed up which is fabulous that so many people want to participate.  If you signed up on the Dorresteijn Dashers team you should have received an e-mail from me about picking up your race packet.  If you did not please contact me.

For those that didn't sign up for Crazylegs or didn't sign up in time to be on the Dorresteijn Dashers team, feel free to join us before or after the race.  I have encouraged everyone on the team to wear orange or red to help make the team easily recognizable.  If you don't have orange or red feel free to wear whatever.

For those that can make it before the race, we will be meeting along E. Mifflin near Wisconsin Ave inside the square.  This link should give the location.

I am also going to encourage anyone who wants to make the short walk over to The Old Fashioned for a pre-race cocktail to do so.  Though it will be 1 week early, The Old Fashioned has designated the Bram and Shari Dorresteijn Memorial Scholarship as their charity of the month for May and June.  I will put more details about this in another post soon but wanted to mention it.

The race ends in Camp Randall Stadium.  We are going to meet in the upper half of Section F.  For those that want to hang around for a little bit after the race try to find us here.

Lastly, I will take this opportunity to ask if you haven't already done so, to consider donating to the Bram and Shari Dorresteijn Memorial Scholarship.  This can be done directly using the below UW Foundation link.
