It's time for Lisa Thompson and Avi Moss's annual Halloween Party at the Modern B&B. It's on Friday evening so you will be in tippy-top shape by Sunday for the Houston Half Marathon! Party starts at 7:30 PM at 4003 Hazard St. Music will be by 'The Human DJ' Caleb Hensinger.
There will be a Tarot Card Reader, so prepare to potentially learn some
inconvenient truths. Costumes required. Light bites and drinks
provided, but feel free to bring additional embellishments to share. It
will be spooktackular! There will be a babysitter. |

Bank's Harvest Marathon Relay! The Houston Food Bank will be sponsoring a fundraising Relay Marathon, and BCRR is going to sponsor two teams of 10 persons each ($1000 total), so we just need runners! If
we can gather 10 people per team to run 2.5 miles each (1/4 mile at a
time) we can do a good deed for the Houston Food Bank, and get some good
PR for BCRR, and have a lot of fun doing it! BCRR has sponsored teams
for the last few years - run at no cost to you! Contact Steve Hasson
(shasson@earthlink.net) if you are interested in helping out. The
