Eat for Education
This Thursday night, February 19th, you can avoid cooking dinner AND support your community! All you have to do is go to Mr. Gatti's between 5:00 and 8:00 PM and tell them you're eating for FMS and they'll donate 15% of the bill to the PTO. Or you can just order a pizza to go -- that counts too (just be sure to mention the FMS PTO).
The PTO is an important organization - its sole purpose is to support the students and teachers. They sponsor educational programs, donate supplies, provide teacher appreciation and more. It's a volunteer organization, which means they are always short of money and that a few dedicated people do a large portion of the work! So here's an easy way to show your support for the local school and have a dinner out to boot!
(You might also consider purchasing one of the cool red and black tie-dyed t-shirts the FMS PTO designed. For more information contact Julie Voorhees at voorheesfamily@mac.com)

New Years Eve Walk
Want a novel way to welcome the new year? Kick start your waist loss resolution by walking in the new year.
At 11 p.m., the Texas Volkssport Association will host a wine-and-cheese social hour before the traditional Midnight Walk.
This is a 10-kilometer guided walk (a 5-kilometer walk is available). Everyone will leave promptly at midnight. No one will be allowed to leave after 12:30 a.m., and all participants must be back no later than 3:30 a.m.
This walk’s genesis goes back to the mid-1980s when a few volkssporters started this tradition as a way to “walk in the New Year.” It has continued and grown since then. People come from around the country to participate in this special event.
Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Pets are to be kept on a leash at all times and are not allowed in the building. Disclaimers for the walk event must be signed. Restrooms will be available at the start/finish location.
The midnight walking trail, which covers city streets, is suitable for strollers, but because of night visibility concerns, it is unsuitable for wheelchairs. Participants must carry flashlights.
The events will begin from St. Joseph’s Hall in the 200 block of West San Antonio Street.

More on Proof
Hey Schatze -
I was at Proof last week, too -sorry I missed you! But I agree with you - the atmosphere is nice (love the couches and oversized ottomans/coffeetables.) I had their Malbec wine and it was quite good. Happy hour is from 3 to 6, by the way, and the bartender was really friendly and nice (very different from when it was Primeaux). They have live blues music there on Wednesday nights, too. I also had the chance to check out West End Pizza twice last week! I had the spaghettii the first time and it was pretty decent. I love the their pizza - we built our own veggie and it was really delicious but a little pricey - $25 for a large pizza pushes the limits a bit. But it has a nice familly feel and it was busy, so it looks like it might be a hit. We actually need more family friendly restaurants in town, so it's a good addition.
