My mother’s middle name is Jude… named after St. Jude, and her favorite little bundle of joy (ME!) was born on St. Jude’s day… October 28th.   Crazy, right?

St. Jude is the patron saint of lost causes.   Meaning, when all other avenues are closed, he is the one to call upon, and his help often comes at the last moment.   Or so claims LuckyMojo.com  Nevertheless, St. Jude, in my opinion, is one of the better saints out there.

Well, in addition, there is a wonderful organization called The St. Jude Children Research Hospital which is a great pediatric research and treatment facility.

THIS FRIDAY@ 5:30 at the Pearl Street Pub in downtown Albany, NY, there is a fundraiser for The SJCRH called “The Hey Jude Street Party”.  It’s going to be a fun night with lots of music by the Beatles and Paul McCartney  (performed by The Students and The All Paul Show).

Suggested donation is $10.

If you can’t make the party, but would like to give to this wonderful organization, please CLICK HERE.
