| THE 3RD ANNUAL METAL MEMORABILIA AUCTION FOR THE SACRAMENTO SPCA |
| It was another successful year in raising money for the Sacramento SPCA. I held my 3rd Annual Metal Memorabilia Auction on Ebay and with your help we made just over $4,000! Also, two car donations valued at $2,700 were made in honor of the auction bringing the grand total to over $6,700! It's been a true pleasure to join forces with others who not only love 80's rock, but are animal lovers as well. A special thanks to those of you who increased the amount of your donation checks to further help the charity. Your kindness and compassion never ceases to amaze me. And finally, my deepest gratitude to the artists who donated items to this auction. Without the following people, none of this would be possible: Stephen Pearcy, Rikki Rockett, Dave Meniketti, Queensryche, Bret Michaels, Ronnie James Dio, Jeff Watson, Nina Blackwood, Sanctuary Records Group, Frank Hannon, the Guitar Center, Blockbuster Video, Kovar's Family Martial Arts Centers, Heart, Universal Music, Kevin Graft Photography, Mike Ragusa of Bigshot Productions and Steve Garland. For those of you who would like to continue to support the Sacramento SPCA, please use the link in the following passage to find out more. |
| Friends of Placer County Animal Shelter is an amazing organization! I discovered this as I adopted my first dog, Maggie, from the group. Volunteers work to ensure that abused, abandoned and homeless animals get the second chance at life they so greatly deserve. Please visit their website to find out more. |
| In the summer of 2002, I held a "Chicks Who Rock Metal Memorabilia Auction" to support the Sacramento SPCA. In just about three hours we raised nearly $2,500. The following year we raised nearly $3,000 and this year we far surpassed that amount! But more help is needed to further the efforts of this incredible organization.

| I've been fortunate to have enjoyed success as the "Chick Who Rocks". I also want to help the less fortunate enjoy a better life. Here are some charities that are very close to my heart. |
| THE COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER ON JUNE 1, 2007 FOR "JOE GRIGGS DAY" |
| Joe Griggs was a clerk at the Shell station on West Taron and Elk Grove Boulevard. Always greeting customers with a smile and dedicated to maintaining a safe workplace, on May 14, 2007 Joe attempted to break up a fight in the parking lot of the station at which he worked. Sadly, he was stabbed to death while trying to prevent further altercation. Joe leaves behind a loving extended family, a new wife and two young children. “Joe Griggs Day” was a day for residents and local businesses to show their support for Joe’s family. On this day, between the hours of 4 pm and 8pm, local businesses were asked to pledge 10% of their sales to the memorial fund. In return, residents were asked to support those businesses. Thanks to assistance from local media and the support of the community, over $17,500 was rasied. Proceeds were divided between the two official memorial funds set up by Tooley Oil and Raley’s/Tri-Counties Bank. For more information on the event, click here. |
