Special thanks to PSST parents Mary, Beth and Erv for making this game and the tail-gating possible. This is our third year with a 20-ticket package. A few of our people could not make it for the pre-game fun. Erv and Beth got there early and secured us a parking spot and he and Beth supplied the eats.
The seats were awesome! Upper-level but not nose-bleed. There is really not a bad seat at Heinz Stadium anyway but our seats were directly accross from the big screen. When they were in our end-zone we could see em sweating! OK, that's a small exageration but they were great seats!
This was the first steeler game for many of our teenagers. We also are lucky enough to have a few guys in thier twenties coming back to supply inspiration and leadership for our younger guys. Lots of opportunity for people to share phone numbers, hope and inspiration.
The seven-year old with the Steeler face is my grandson. It was his first game too!

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!
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!
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.
