Great people like Lori Kerttula put on the Nick Silvesto Benefit!

I have this great friend. I had the pleasure of meeting her every morning at 6am sweating away at Curves.

This group at Curves was my first CT influence when I moved in from RI. We came in with our hair sticking out all over the place and barely awake some mornings. We talked as fast as we worked out. We shared everything in those early morning hours. These women are all outstanding souls for many reasons.

Today I speak of my friend, Lori, who has a pretty hectic life of her own, with family, home, work, friends... you know the feeling.

However, back in June, her BFF's husband Nick was in a serious motorcycle accident, was life-starred to Hartford Hospital, and he is still there months later. As tragic as that is, Nick's wife (and Lori's best friend) is legally blind. The couple have 2 teen-aged boys, ages 11 & 13. They have their hands full to say the least.

My sweet & wonderful Lori and a couple of other gals organized a benefit for the family. They had to find a date, location, food, entertainment, etc. to put this all together. And put it together they did.

The benefit is tomorrow, Saturday, September 11. Following are the details, and if you can't make it but feel in your heart that you could chip in a bit to help support this great family in need, please call Lori. It is time to pay it forward.

Where: Plainfield VFW,7 Windsor Ave,Plainfield, CT
When: Sat, 9/11, 6-11:30
Contact: Lori (Allstate Ins.) at 860-564-3383
