If you don't want to participate in the Trivia, still come on out for the amazing items being raffled and auctioned and for a ton of fun. Hermann's has rockin' food, drinks, and a fun atmosphere that was a second "home" for Jacob and Jenni! We look forward to seeing you there!

A Note From Jacob:
I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for so many heartfelt offers of support from others. Jenni and I always loved playing trivia. Motor City Trivia and Hermann's Olde Town Grille are totally awesome and have been incredible to Jenni and I. When I was told of the planning of a trivia benefit to help Amelia and I, I was beyond touched. Thank you just isn't enough, but I do thank you with all my heart for your love, concern, compassion and prayers.

With all the gratitude in the world,
Jacob Black

3. Attend one of the upcoming benefits. I will post them on this blog as plans are finalized for each one:







Location:
Plymouth ROC (formerly Boulders)
1020 Ann Arbor Road
Plymouth, MI 48170

Date and Time:
Saturday, January 8 at 3:00pm - January 9 at 2:00am

Please join us for a benefit in honor of a beautiful and amazing woman, Jen Bourque-Black, who we devastatingly lost while she was giving birth just a few days before Christmas. Her adorable little girl is only a week old, and as we all know, it takes a village to raise a child. Please come out and help support our dear friend and new dad, Jacob Black, and our newest little villager, Amelia Robin-Sue.

Plymouth ROC is generously donating 20% of everyone's food/drink tab to Amelia's Memorial Fund beginning at 3:00pm. Beginning at 8:00pm, there will be a $7 cover fee, much of which will go directly into Amelia's Memorial Fund. Also beginning at 8:00pm, there will be great live music featuring Image Altered, 50/50 drawings and drink specials all night long. There will also be a chance to win a 7-night vacation with 100% of the proceeds being donated directly to the Amelia Bourque-Black Memorial Fund. This event is only a week away so mark your calendars, pass the word along and bring your friends! You can also repost this on your facebook page, blog, or email to let everyone on your friends list know about the benefit and stay informed on the upcoming events.


Thank you again for your support and generosity!
