As you may have all heard, there was a fire in Jesse’s apartment building last week. Most of his stuff has been destroyed by the fire that happened in one of the lower units of his building. He has been forced to move out of the building and start over. Lets help Jesse get back on his feet and replace the items he lost due to the fire. Tickets will be available starting Friday for $5 each, and can be picked up at the bar. We will be having a 50/50 draw, as well as a raffle. More »
