Mattie Rhodes Charity Event

JayHops,
We’ve been asked to serve once again. A few years back we served our homebrew for Mattie Rhodes ( http://www.mattierhodes.org/ ) at their Cinco de Mayo and Day of the Dead events.
We’ve been asked to do this once again on November 7th (first Friday event and the Day of the Dead celebration). This is completely a donation on our part. The process in the past has been that we bring our homebrew and serve it for donations made directly to Mattie Rhodes. I’d like to do this again and maybe even make it a new JayHops tradition (much like the Jeremy Katzenberger Memorial Triathlon is turning into) that we can put on our calendar and prep for as a club.
I have the six faucet jockey box we can use. I also have
• one corny of wheat
• one corny of wheat with orange juice (yeah…I know….)
• one corny of an extra pale ale
that we can serve.
I wanted to see what the overall initial commitment of the club is on this and how many of us can participate. As usual, it seems that our club motto of “we’re here to serve” is really coming true. As I get information, I’ll send it out to the club.
Let me know. Thanks, Pancho

  1. Here’s what I have so far:

    The event will start at Mattie Rhodes on November 7th from 6P-10P. We’re being set up inside the gallery near the food and Mattie Marguaritas spot. Last year they had over 500 people attend. This should be a fun event for us.

    I’ll work from home that day and go up to Mattie Rhodes at about 5P to start setting up. I’ll bring the cornys of beer, ice, cups, gas and the jockey box. This should put out about 125 20oz. pours. That would mean that we’d be pouring beer about one every 2 minutes. We could probably use more. Dig around in your basements, refrigerators, garages.

    Anyway, that’s the latest.

  2. Thanks Larry for reminding me to send out a reminder and info update.

Basically, a couple of people pour and hand out beer for donations while the rest go out and about and enjoy the festival. We take shifts so we can all have fun.
