CARS , CARS, AND MORE CARS!    Wow, what an awesome car show hosted by the Tichigan Lake Lions Club.  With about 500 cars registered in the car show, everyone enjoyed a sun filled, fun filled day complete with food, beer, soda, a play area for kids, DJ with great music, and so many beautiful cars, modern, classic and everything in between.  Our thanks to the Lions Club for choosing Brooke to be the recipient of funds raised on the 350 Chevy Engine raffle.  We got to hear it fire up every so often, ticket sales were great!  The money raised will be used for hippotherapy, making the yard more accessible, as well as possibly an appointment with one of Dr. DeVivo's colleauges, whose mission is to find a cure for GLUT-1 by 2019.    Our thanks goes also to those who came out to show their cars, support the raffle, and just coming out to enjoy the beautiful day.  If you were unable to come, I recommend going next year.  It was the biggest car show in our area.  Amazing!  Family and friends came through once again, showing their love and support.  Brooke put on several miles in her walker, going round and round, and up and down that huge hill.  Nothing slows her down!   She drew the winning ticket at the close of the car show and accepted the check from the Tichigan Lake Lions Club.

      Alsolutely true. Such a nice community of friendly people with nothing by smiles and well wishes for Brooke and her future. Of course, the wonderful weather helped to bring people out by the dozens, but what better way to spend the day than with sunshine, friends, cool cars, and cold beer. Thanks to everyone who made this such a special event. Uncle Mike and Aunt Shar Zinke

      Hello All!!
      I can attest to the success of the Tichigan Car Show hosted by the local Lion's Club!! What an incredible undertaking! Not only were the cars a sight to see, but to watch the Lions and Lionesses in action was poetry in motion!
      The concession area was buzzing with members selling tickets,taking orders and preparing and serving food. Due to the high turnout, the food and beer supply was running low, but in spite of that, every volunteer had a smile on their face, were joking amongst themselves and making their customers feel genuinely welcome to be there!!
      The Lion's Club did a fantastic job in every aspect of this huge undertaking! Myself and many others noticed, appreciated and were very impressed by the work they did...all for "our" little dark haired, dark eyed girl who is faced with more challenges than many of us.
      She has been raised to be gracious and thankful to those who have helped her along her journey.
      We are collectively thankful to all who make her life more enjoyable and specifically grateful today for the members of The Tichigan Lions Club and to all of the car enthusiasts who attended!!
      You've done a huge part in making plans for the next chapter of Brooke's Journey!
      As Ever,
      Aunt Cindy, Uncle Chuck, Cousin Peter and Natalie
