TWO DAYS AND COUNTING! We are so, so ready here at the Super Dylan HQ!
Where to start...my, oh, my!
Perhaps you read about our good news...you should REALLY, TRULY, MAKE SURE you are at the Flapjack Jam on Saturday...you just never know what might happen...
Our 2011 Silent Auction Sneak Peek Catalog is ready for viewing! A small sampling of the cornucopia of merchandise we have to offer, really. But, we thought you would want to get by the bank and get those big bills out. We are taking it ALL again this year - credit cards, checks, cash...no bartering though (sshh - we have a real CER - TI - FIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT on staff at the HQ now)! BRING IT!
Remember, all the money raised will go directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation so it’s really a win/win for everyone! You get something cool, the foundation gets some cash – it’s all good!
If you have already purchased your tickets, then we thank you for your support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. If you have not yet purchased tickets, we would love to have you! It is sure to be a fun time! If you need tickets, simply email Amy (AMY, not ART - I swear!)
T-shirt quantities are limited, so if you want one, you better get one quick. Email Becky to see if we can accommodate your needs!
Thanks to all those who have donated items – we love you and are singing your praises from the rooftops, because honestly, YOU ROCK!
A few event details to pass on:
Bring a chair or a blanket! If you don’t, you may be on the grass, which isn't so bad, but a chair would be much better!
We will also be raffling the whole time – what’s a fundraiser with no raffle? All kinds of good stuff – raffle tickets will be $1...
If you live in the Lakemont ‘hood, we are asking you to walk, skateboard, bike, kayak or use any other method of transportation other than a car! We have sold many, many tickets and we want to ensure we have ample parking for our “other” friends. Besides, exercise is good and it helps the earth...
If you are driving, directions to the Lakemont Club are as follows:
From Downtown: Take Six Forks Road North. Take a right onto Rowan Street. Take a left onto Lakemont. Take a right onto Pinecroft. Take a right onto Latimer. Take a right onto Harvard. The club is located at the end of Harvard at 409 Harvard Street.
From North Raleigh: Take Six Forks Road South. Take a left onto Rowan Street. Take a left onto Lakemont. Take a right onto Pinecroft. Take a right onto Latimer. Take a right onto Harvard. The club is located at the end of Harvard at 409 Harvard Street.
We will be parking at the club parking lot, directly behind the pool in the grass, at the easement entrance at Pinecroft and at the side entrance on Little Falls.
Our staff meteorologist has predicted an absolutely perfect autumn day for the Flapjack Jam, so we fully expect to be rocking the house at 3:00pm.
On behalf of the Super Dylan Nation and the Smith Family, we wanted to thank each of you for supporting the Flapjack Jam! Whether you pass along an email, "LIKE" the Super Dylan Nation on facebook or simply say a kind word - it all makes a huge difference to us! Every day, every SINGLE day, we are one day closer to a cure. With your help, and support, we are making a difference, not just in Dylan's life, but in the lives of the 29,999 other CF'ers in the United States.
Lest you think we CANNOT make a difference, we have convinced the head of NBC Universal's copyright infringement division to approve the official video, made friends with a future CMA winner and gotten some serious SWAG for the auction! Yeah, not bad for some "housewives from midtown!"
THIS IS IT - the Flapjack Jam is ON!

Why do I go to the Great Strides Page when I try to buy tickets or sponsorships?
Great Question!!
Just a little explanation... Because our mission is to give every penny we raise to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, we felt there, for now, was little need for a middle man (make the check out to Mandy, who will in turn give it to CF).
By creating a 'walker' for Great Strides named "Flapjack Jam" we are able to get all the money in an easy way to CFF while also keeping track of how much money we raise as an event.
This also allows you to:

T-shirts, sponsorships, magnets - OH MY
The official 2011 Flapjack Jam t-shirt design is complete - but, wait for it...will not be revealed until September 30. That's right - top secret. Fort Knox. It's very exciting over here at the Super Dylan Nation HQ!
T-shirts are $10 and we would LOVE to preorder one just for you, so you can be the MOST stylish at the Jam! Email Becky if you want to pre-order - kids sizes through adult, get 'em while they are hot!
We have had some requests for blog buttons - how cool are we? We will get a blog button designed so you can add it to your blog if you so desire - after all, what's a blog without a FJJ blog button? Email Becky if you want a button designed...
Super Dylan Nation magnets are available! Show your SDN pride with this colorful magnet that will have those drivers behind you wondering who in the WORLD is Super Dylan? Personally, I have seen dozens on the streets of Raleigh already and it warms my heart each and every time! Get one during the Jam...you HAVE to have one!
So, also you may have noticed that we changed the time. Not exactly sure of what we were thinking - five hours of flapjacking? We would be exhausted - so, we are going from 3:00 - 7:00pm, with dinner pancakes being served from 3:00 - 6:00pm.
That's it for today, rest assured we are working hard over here!

Tickets and Media Information is READY!
Woo hoo! The Flapjack Jam is rolling! Check out the handy flyer with cool colors! If you would like to get some to put around the 'hood, just ask and we would be oh-so happy to oblige! Email Becky to get yours today!
Tickets are ready to be purchased - we have operators standing by to take your order as we type! Okay, not really operators...but you can email our head money-taker, Amy and ask her to email you your tickets.
And, on personal note, I (Becky) wanted to share this blog with you all: http://www.cfhusband.blogspot.com/. I saw these folks at the CF Education Day at Duke and their story made me cry right there! Thankfully, no one saw 'cause we were sitting in the front row, but it was totally moving and very eye-opening to hear their story. I think I embarrassed Nicole but at least I didn't blow snot everywhere!
They have a huge faith and hearing about how they have dealt with Tricia's disease through the birth of their daughter has been inspirational. Check it out, but totally have some tissues on stand by.
Last thing! If you want to pre-order a tshirt, email Becky and we will set you up!
