Okay, starting to come down, it's always kind of overwhelming for me right after the event....
1) Thank you SO much to Adam, Torx, Rick for solid one-on-one help and support. I should have taken a picture of Rick mopping, but Adam stayed from 9 to 5 pretty much, that's too cool.
2) THANK YOU to everyone who donated items. Reef Wholesale, Proline Aquatics, Reef Hero, Davesolo29, Aqua Digital, Bean Bag Frags, Sealife Central, JT Custom Acrylics, BIGSHOW FRAGS, and Canada Corals. I'm certain I'm missing someone, and if I am PLEASE PLEASE POST HERE as I don't want you to think I am unappreciative, as that would not be at all correct. WOW it was 45 minutes of raffle calls, and I do wish everyone won something (but I can't make that happen no matter what!). Congrats to all the winners.
3) Final tally is $1532.50 Ronald McDonald house. I will figure out how to get it to them next week. By all accounts a worthy cause. We also easily made the Royal Canadian Legion WELL over $1000 for sure including hall rental, and without those guys we wouldn't have the freedom to do what we are able to do today. They asked us back for next year and said you guys were absolutely top notch, no complaints from their side.
4) Apologies for the heat. I did suffer with it too, so I felt your pain.
5) I do hope everyone had a good time. I felt bad for those that had the 12 inch thick stack of raffle tickets that didn't win. It does go to charity and not my 24K gold Mercedes so hopefully that takes the sting out of it for some people.
6) I will likely look at different options for the event next year... Ideally I would love to have much better climate control, and everyone on the same level. The bar was a nice option but not a necessity. Parking, ease of access and lack of carpeting are my prime criteria, so I will see if I can find something to match. It seems like it's an event that could only grow, but I am open to suggestions
That's all I can think of for now. I need to have a Guinness in the hot tub and chillax.
