Another of the Jimmy V extended family has reached the national stage and needs your votes! Katherine Fritsch, 8 years old, is on the voting stage until noon on Thursday on the CBS Early Show. Go to the week 9 page and look at her video--and more importantly, vote for her! She began her public singing career at the Jimmy V Celebrity Junior Golf Classic pairings party last year, and frequently mentions that when interviewed.
Remember, voting ends Thursday, February 8 at noon for this round. So don't delay! We will keep you posted on her results as soon as we know them.

Check out College Football this Saturday. Not only will there be great games, but the V Foundation will be a prominent participant. National College Football Day is this Saturday Nov. 4. It is a holiday created by the AT&T Cotton Bowl to commemorate the birth of college football when Rutgers (Jimmy V's alma mater) defeated Princeton in 1869. This year, the AT&T Cotton Bowl has partnered with The V Foundation for Cancer Research to increase awareness about men’s cancers. So enjoy your football this Saturday and listen for references to the V Foundation!

Hopefully all of you have received an email, or have seen in the news, that the 2007 Classic will be in Pinehurst. I'm sure you all have questions and we are posting some more info and some answers on this web site as soon as our web developer can get them up. A great deal is not yet known, and the management team has a lot of planning to do before all questions can be answered. I can tell you that volunteer opportunities will exist, both for V Week here in the Triangle and the Classic in Pinehurst. Exactly how many and what kind, we don't know yet. We will communicate that when it's determined. So please watch this space and your newsletter for the most up to date info. And please be sure we have your current email and home addresses!

Thanks to the kind folks at Jack Astor's restaurant in Cary, we had a very nice evening for about 100 volunteers on Wednesday. It was good to see so many there, including many new faces. We may indeed be doing more with Jack Astor's so please keep your eyes on this spot for other activities. Until then, enjoy the football.. well, maybe just enjoy the football weather!
