Thankful Thursdays – Helping Meals On Wheels
Have you been to Thankful Thursdays yet? If not, here is what you’re missing!
Each week we get together to help raise money and awareness for local charities, as well as have a lot of fun with friends and co-workers. Last week, thanks to the generosity of those in attendance, we were able to raise $4485.00 for the Children's Advocacy Project to help victims of child abuse.
It was an evening for the record books!! Plus, it brought our 3 week total to just over $7000, that you and Thankful Thursdays have raised to help 3 local charities!!
This week, we are helping the Natrona County Meals on Wheels program. This program provides and delivers meals to the homes of senior citizens, convalescents, and persons of any age who are home-bound and have difficulty preparing meals for themselves.
During fiscal year 2007, MOW delivered an average of 554 daily meals to its recipients. We delivered a total of 158,086 !! Forty percent of our meal recipients require special therapeutic diets. Around 640 weekend meals to 190 of our recipients are delivered along with the regular meal each Friday. These are for weekend meals. Our current volunteer force includes 488 community minded citizens.

Thankful Thursday’s
We want to invite you to be a part of the biggest happy hour party in the state, each Thursday!! Join us each week, as My Country 95.5 will be throwing a party at the Beacon Club to support charities near and dear to the hearts of our community. We’ll also be raising money for our local charity in several ways. We’ll raise money with a 50/50 raffle, there will be a live auction and raffle items, donations and best of all – we’ll have a lot of fun doing it each week.
Did I mention that we are going to try and giveaway $500 Cash every week?
Indeed we will, in fact over the course of the next several months we hope to giveaway the $500 prize several times. How will we do this? It’s as simple as the song “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall”, except instead of bottles of beer – we’ll have bottles of prizes and one lucky bottle will contain a $500 Cash prize. We’ll actually start with 95 bottles of prizes (numbered for My Country 95.5) and each week we’ll give nine lucky contestants a chance to draw out one bottle each and whatever prize they find inside the bottle they choose – that prize is theirs to keep! Each week, we’ll remove more bottles as we give them away, (65, 64, 63, 62, etc…) until we giveaway the Grand Prize of $500 dollars. Once the Grand Prize bottle is found, we will reload all 95 bottles with prizes the following week and start over again. Oh, I guess there is one small catch. You Can’t Win, If You’re Not There!!
Come join Rodeo Rick and My Country 95.5 for a live broadcast each Thursday from 5-7 PM from the famous Beacon Club. We’ll have tons of drink specials, including 50 cent drafts in addition to 2 for 1 drinks, free samples from liqueur distributors and some awesome auction items from Western Distributing, Coors Brewing Company and more! Plus you’ll never know what other surprises might be in store each week!!
Grab your friends and co-workers and make plans now to join us each and every Thursday at the Beacon Club for Thankful Thursdays!!
(You must be at least 21 years old to participate, but this event at the Beacon is open to all ages – serving food until 9 pm. Western Distributing, Coors Brew Company, The Beacon Club, Natrona County Meals On Wheels and My Country 95.5 encourage everyone to drink responsibly!)
