Congratulations to all! What a wonderful turnout for such a worthy cause.
Hopefully we will be able to help again next time, but Jim’s heart trouble
prevented us from doing so this time. It is always such a fun event, and sounds
like you had enough volunteers so that all got a break
without being in the cave or at a specific post all day.
We will look forward to next time.
Mimi and Jim Jasek
