Thanks Tickets For Kids for Penguins Hockey on 3-15-09!

Once again Tickets For Kids comes through for us by generously awarding us 8 tickets. What a game! Pittsburgh comes on strong in the third period to win big against the number one team, The Boston Bruins. While some of us were camera shy and we only had a phone camera- we managed to snap a couple shots.

Coffee House Nation meets again! Update.

Five mostly new group members met at B-Hive 14th and Carson St. on 2-21-09. All are serious about chasing recovery and are busy turning lives around. Several volunteering to speak at Fatal Awareness Conference at Robert Morris College on 4-17-09. This will be our third year providing speakers and it looks mostly a new group of speakers this year.

Our next meeting will be in one month on March 21st. We are trying to meet every two weeks but March 7th is the NA Convention in Cleveland and two of our people are attending.



Two or three are also volunteering to speak at the PSST group (9:00 AM!) on 3-21-09, the morning before our next get together at the B-hive at 1:00 PM.

We also have volunteers to be in or help with the production of two videos that Juvenile Court is planning to make soon. Keep posted for more information. Finally, we are hoping to get some Penquins Tickets from Tickets For Kids. I will be working my Juvenile Court Rep this week. Last year, we had opportunities to go to five or six games but so far this year, we have only attended one game.

We also met two weeks ago but only had to members show; however, we are ready to pump this group up now and really get things going. New cast of young members are hungry for some speaking opportunites and fun activities. I told the group yesterday that I am going to make sure the blog is kept up featuring all of our activities and plans. Call me at 412-861-6757 if you want to get involved with Coffee House Nation.

Tickets for Kids provides 13 Luxury Pirate Game seats!

These seats rocked! We had 13 out of the 15 seats of a donated Luxury Box at the Pirate Game on April 10th. None of us had ever been to a Luxury Box and some of us had never been to a Pirate Game at all. Thanks again to Tickets for Kids for helping provide our club with a spectacular activity.


We not only had this great room behind our seats with a sofa and chair and 42 inch flat screen monitor, but we had access to the upper deck. The upper deck has pool tables and table hockey at no extra charge. While playing hockey we could walk out onto the upper deck and watch the game for a while. The Pirates lost but it didn't affect the great time we had at all!

Thanks AGAIN to Tickets for Kids!

Anther Penguins night out for CHN- thanks to Tickets for Kids. It was a Tickets for Kids night at the ice rink and a nifty Penguins cap came with each ticket. This game was one of the most exciting games ever and each one of our 8 member crew was yelling, screeming and on the edge of our seats. For several of our group it was the first time that they attended a Penguins Game or had even paid attention to Hockey. Thanks also to Milano Pizza for giving us a great deal!


Of course we miss Sidney Crosby and hope for a healthy return but we have plenty of great players left on the team. We meet first for Pizzza at Milano Pizza on Fifth Ave. They give us the "college special" if we show up before 5:00 PM. It's a tremendous deal on a large pizza and a refillable picture of pop comes with each one. Thanks Milano Pizza for helping us out again.

Penguin Night for CHN thanks to Tickets For Kids!

We landed 8 tickets via Tickets For Kids. Thanks you Tickets For Kids. We couldn't do it without you. This the most impressive Penguin's Team that we have seen yet this year- these guys are winners. Speaking of winners, this was the most positive group of young people we have ever taken anyplace.

We would also like to thank Pizza Milano at 1304 Fifth Ave for the generous discount. Everyone agreed that is was excellent Pizza. Click 'read more' for more pictures.

Each of the seven youth are high achievers; each has accomplished a great deal in their his or her life already.

We're going to the movies!

Thank you for the $100.00 contribution from PSST!

It seems to be that EVERYONE asked so far wants to see "I AM LEGEND." So, I took down the "GOLDEN COMPASS" add.

December 26th from 1:30 to 2:00 pm meet at Caribu Coffee Shoppe attached to Joseph Beth Books near the Hot Metal St. Bridge and Carson St. We will be walking two blocks from there to South Side Works Movie Theatre to see "I AM LEGEND." It starts at 2:25 and you must make before the movie starts or you will have to buy your own ticket. You can call Kelly Tuma (412-247-6372) or Lloyd Woodward (412-861-6757) to let us know that you will be coming.

After the movie we are probably going to get something to eat.

Next Meeting

Due to icy weather on Sunday December 16, coffee was cancelled. We have rescheduled an activity for December 26, 2007 in the afternoon. It is a Wednesday, but no one will be in school for holiday vacation. We have been given a donation by a parent from the Parent Survival Skills Training and are able to attend a matinee movie. There are two options: The Golden Compass or I Am Legend. Call Kelly at 412-247-6372 by Friday December 21 with your preference. This will determine which movie and the meeting time. We will see the movie in the South Side Works.
