Thanks for all of the effort in planning and setting this thing up, I honestly know it's not an easy task.

Regards,

Eddie
Next year, you can help out. I'll let you cover registration.

Me too. I'm going to be passing the plate on Saturday night.
Thanks Ken. Passing the donation plate or stepping down? lol[/quote]Passing it Eddie. I expect you to set a good example and drop one of those Benjamins in it.

Ken..... you forgot to mention how much of YOUR time has been spent planning, talking to Fontana, coordinating, etc.....

That is a hidden cost that cannot be calculated, or added into the registration fee..

I'm just glad that people like you, Raul, Sheila, Jamie, and I guess I have to include Ron..... have taken the time out of your schedules to put these events on since 2001!!!

Without you guys/gals.... what would I be doing mid April and mid September? I'd probably be hanging out in a strip club, or in prison by now!

Don't worry about Ken's time. He sucks all of that out of us during his soliloquy at the Saturday banquet, kind of like a mix between Father Time & a vampire. Recharges him in a hurry

It's a labor of love (frustration?) most of the time. The rest of the time, it''s a P.I.T.A. Between dealing with creating menus, getting good rates for registrants, dealing with vendors, and all the general headaches, when it all comes together and everyone hsa a good time...that's a pretty nice reward. After all of that, I deserve to ramble .

I agree. This event has been my favorite vacation to take since my 1st time in 2006. Really appreciate all the time and work the organizers put into this event
