September 17th and 18th 2005:

The Son's of Erin in Westfield let us use the field which is easily accessible from Meadow Street!! The sale started at 8AM and went until 6PM on Saturday evening. We started back up on Sunday at 8AM and worked until after dark! Our tag sale raised over $3,000 this year! At the end of the sale we offered the residents of the local homeless shelter to come over and take anything that they would like at no cost. This made the event even more rewarding!! There were children walking away with bicycles and toys that would not have been available to them otherwise. What was left over after that was donated to the Good Will.

September 6th 2005:

The Ludlow Elks car show had a Team Callahan night! All money generated from raffles and from tips was donated to Team Callahan for Alzheimer's research! They donated $600!! Cool!

We had over 130 raffle prizes!! There were games for the kids and a bounce house (thanks to Charlie Medieros)!!

Westfield Wal-Mart let us have a Team Callahan day! We sat outside Wal-Mart in 100 degree weather with our pamphlets and information sheets and Tootsie Pops and met a ton of wonderful people while raising awareness of Alzheimer's disease! We generated over $350 for Alzheimer's research!

Pictures! Western Massachusetts Hospital allowed us to march with their group in the St. Patrick's Day parade for 2005! We had a blast and we were touched by how many people gave us a standing ovation!

We had a Picnic! A "Memory Picnic" to be exact. We had a roast pig, hamburger's, hot dogs and French fries to eat. We had raffles, a bounce house, volleyball, horse shoes, the Floyd Patterson Band and Billy Egan to entertain and fun was had by all!
The Red Sox donated a baseball signed by Bronson Arroyo!
We raised over $1,200 on the raffle itself!!
We sold over 500 tickets!
Senator Mike Knapik joined us!
And we had the most beautiful July weather that anyone could ask for!!

Tag Sale!!!!!! September 25th, 2004!!!

Pictures!! The Son's of Erin in Westfield let us use the parking area that was easily accessible from Meadow Street!!
The sale started at 9AM and went until 6PM. We made $2,147 on the first day. We had so much stuff donated that we went another day with the tag sale and half of the team stayed at the Son's of Erin instead of joining the walk. Another $504 was generated so the effort paid off!!
