What a wonderful night! We had a record breaking crowd of
approximately
64 members and guests. The food was great! We had
approximately 150 white
elephant gifts brought in by the members and guests. Some members
brought in unexpected valuable gifts for the Special Bingo, so
we ended up
playing for
16 gifts instead of 10.
Thanks
to Tony and Israel for donating three of the Special Bingo gifts.
Together
with the
unexpected gifts brought in by the members and those bought by the
club, I
would say we gave away gifts with a total value of at least
$360.
There are many thanks to be given out to all the board members and
wives who
helped.
--Special
thanks to my wife Estella for all the work she did on her part plus
mine and
which to this point is still working with the after event chores of
cleaning
and putting up some of the things we used. (I pulled the batteries but
she
keeps going)
--Special
thanks to Lynn for recovering and helping bring the event to fruition.
--Thanks
to Estella and Nora for serving the entrée.
--Thank
you Susan, Nora and Lynn for the marathon race of getting the gifts to

even.
