It's only been a few days since the 4th Annual Laughlin Run, but I still can't seem to get out of the Run Mode. I keep pinching myself to wake up.
I need to ackowledge the extremely generous donations that came in this year which were a huge part of our event.
Let's start with a big
Thank You to all the Voluntary Comittee members who were instrumental in the success of this years' event:
Artsmart and her ever so humble Hubby, Tim. Afterall, Randi & Tim helped start this party with me over 4 yrs ago. Just for the idea that a few Fanatics from AZ and SoCal might get together one day somewhere in the middle.
Bondo Princess & Lloger, for your undying attention to detail, organization and execution of the annual Laughlin raffle & door prize drawings. Without Gerry, I never would have learned how to act in a "Line Dance".
LT'sSSR, Thumper & Doug Allen, put together our Banquet Table Centerpieces, of which were to me absolutely incredible. Fabulous artwork and a long lasting memory with each item that went home with each one of us, no matter what. (not to mention the generosity of transportation modes for several fly in guests this year) and many more behind the scenes tasks.
Blue Thunder was the hit of the party again, with his great talent for crooning, had me swaying. Extremely tough act to follow.
Honorable mentions go out to some that helped in the background:
There are so many to name, I won't do it here, but you know who you are and your are deeply apprecieated.
So many donations that I had to read them all off of a full page list at the event, but I need to take a little time now and honor their contributions
