Man...the kudos belong to a host of people who made the banquet, not just Kim and I but we will be humble and offer our thanks for the kind words.
A BIG thanks to Pat LeFemine for the entertaining evening and for the way he included the youth there into the festivities. Class Act.
Our thanks go to everyone who helped out at the registration table to give Kim and I a break (Tomme, Hot4huntin, Beleg and Biggen). To Janie Lassman, BrandonH and his lovely bride for staying up till the wee hours after the banquet to balance out and Janie for all the pre-printed forms. To the countless others who helped get raffle/auction items and helped on the floor during the banquet (Big thanks Dena and Beleg and Ronnie Strickland) and most certainly the individuals and businesses who donated products or services to raise the funds we did. To WalkingEagle, Ron Collier, for the work on the Awards and TBBR and most importantly; YOU...the members\people who bought a meal ticket, raffle tickets, bid on the Live Auctions and support the organization in both a monetary and personal time investment capacity by attending the banquet. It was a pleasure and an honor to meet some of those selfless members... Thank YOU!
