Breakfast with Joe

Margie and her family sat down for breakfast with a very special guest Tuesday morning, Kings co-owner Joe Maloof. The six-person party enjoyed coffee, OJ, fresh fruit, scones and more, inside the Four Seasons Hotel. It was the first time Joe had the chance to meet and hang out with the Kings LUCKIEST Season Ticket Holder.

Joe and Margie talked for more than an hour discussing the Draft, the Kings young core of players, the Parilo childrens’ college choices and the excitement of being on national TV with the likes of Larry Bird, Rudy Gay, Dwyane Wade and, the newly-added representative for the Nets, Jay-Z. Oh, and Joe also made sure to send the best regards of Kings President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie, who Joe had just finished talking to prior to sitting down for the morning meal.

As the last sips of coffee and juice were had, Joe let Margie know he would possibly see her again in the near future, regardless of what pick her luck lands the Kings, as Margie and her daughter plan to celebrate their 50th and 21st birthdays, respectively, in Las Vegas this summer.

Margie couldn’t thank Joe and the Maloof family enough for the incredible opportunity she has been given, and, similarly, it was apparent how glad he was that he and his family were able to make another family so happy. Whether it is community giving or providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to a long-time Kings Season Ticket Holder, it’s clear that the generosity of the Maloofs is as genuine as it gets.

After the goodbyes, Margie took to her next adventure, a makeover and shopping spree, which by the excited look on her face, she was rather excited about!

This is it. We’re headed to the 2008 NBA Draft Lottery! The extravaganza that has been the Kings LUCKIEST Season Ticket Holder trip is reaching its zenith.

Cheers to Margie and lucky pennies! Let’s Go KINGS!
