This month’s Jennie Day marked two years since we lost Jen.   As we did last July, this month’s meal had a Summer BBQ theme.  We cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on the Ronald McDonald House grill, with cheese, lettuce, sliced tomato, pickles, and onions, along with rosemary roasted potatoes (one of Joy’s many specialties), with homemade sour cream pound cake for dessert, also expertly baked by Joy, from my mother’s original recipe.

This month also featured the beginning of a new Jennie Foundation fundraising initiative, which was suggested by Jen’s (and my) cousin Barbara Smith.  We are now offering for donors the opportunity to sponsor our monthly meal for the Ronald McDonald House, and Maria Ferari Children’s Hospital PICU and oncology wards.  You can find additional details and instructions on how to sign up on our Meal Sponsorship page.  We are very fortunate to have three of this year’s meals sponsored already, and four more sponsorship opportunities remain for 2017.  This month’s meal was sponsored by Jen’s aunt and uncle, Patti and Arnie Lure.  We would like to thank them for their generous sponsorship and support of The Jennie Foundation!
