Featured foods include stuffed mushrooms, sushi, chicken fran- cese and buffalo bites. Additionally, Matiska will pre- pare her own food and has pur- chased liquor and wine. Really Cooking is providing dessert. Maria Dubiel and Just Us are the entertainment of the evening. Dr. Paul Reinert, a member of Just Us, is the assistant superin- tendent in the Dallas School Dis- trict. Pomrinke’s mom is a former Dallas teacher istrict and her brother, Russ Eyet, currently teaches at Dallas Middle School. And of course, someone needs to wait on partygoers. Several people of the Dallas High School cafeteria staff have offered to do the job. “It’s all been coming together,” said Maureen Matiska, a member of the Dallas School Board. “Peo- ple have been so receptive.” A $50 tax-deductible donation is required to attend the party. Al- though the fundraiser is high- end, Maureen Matiska says peo- ple may dress casually and should be comfortable since it is outdoors. An option for people who want to donate but cannot give $50 is to purchase a candle for $5. The floating candles will be placed on the Matiskas’ lake for a luminary display during the party. Money raised at the Matiskas’ fundraiser will be divided among the members of “Kelly’s War- riors.” If the team reaches its goal, leftover money will be given to The Breast Cancer 3-Day on I BL A a i se a T °oo)d]r THE REGION'S ONLY KIDNEY TRANSPLANT PROGRAM IS AT GEISINGER WYOMING VALLEY You can take comfort knowing that the region's only kidney transplant program is comfortably close, at Geisinger Wyoming Valley in Wilkes-Barre. Led by board-certified surgeons C. Rathna Varma, MD, Director of Transplantation Surgery, Manish Gupta, MD, and Anil Kotru, MD, the kidney transplant team provides a comprehensive program, from pre-transplant evaluation through post-transplant care. The program is one of only a few in the nation using a steroid-free immunosuppressive regime that improves outcomes and limits the use of anti-rejection medications. To discuss an evaluation, please call 1.800.645.1228, or visit our website for a complete description of Geisinger’s transplant program. www.geisinger.org/transplant GEISINGER REDEFINING BOUNDARIES” their behalf. Eighty-five percent of the funds raised through The Breast Cancer 3-Day go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and 15 per- cent goes to the National Philan- thropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Matiska wants the fundraiser to have a positive atmosphere. “Kelly loved a good time,” she said. “If there was a party, she was going to be there. She would want everyone to have a good time.” The Matiskas plan to hold the fundraiser each year as long as people still do The Breast Cancer 3-Day in Kelly’s honor. Maureen Matiska says in the future she would love to have a student in senior high school organize and plan the party as part of his or her senior project.
