Wow! What a fantastic night. March 3rd fundraiser for Sosua kids was a blast. Colleen will, of course, give the final figures, but so far you guys have raised 87,000 pesos for the 'kids' fund.
Well done and thank you to everyone who supported the event, whether it was by way of buying raffle tickets, donating cash, giving your own time or working for free. All the efforts are greatly appreciated.
Special thanks to Colleen, Mark and Caroline for organising the event.

Thanks, Spanks! We had an awesome time doing it. Barb and Linden, Janet, Karen and Mom helped tons before the event as well as Eva, selling tickets! Liam at the Britannia Pub sold several books as well. Kristine (CopperSun) and Kathy (mspiggy) helped out the night of as well as many others in front and behind the scenes. SPECIAL THANKS to Steve at Rubi 92.5 for donating the PA system so we didn't have to yell (good thing- I was losing my voice, lol), and to Kym and Peter for helping MC! John, AKA loosehead was on hand as well as Jim (Jim and Delois, forum members) to help pull winning tickets and Repete (our buddy Peter) and a few other strong arms were there to help haul down the tables and chairs in the plaza. Brook was the Jello Shooter gal and she raised well over 3000 pesos doing so! She even contributed all her tips!!! A good time was had by all and a final head count showed that at least 122 people were around our "wee little pub" !!! TOO COOL, huh? ?

I totally agree! I was very proud to have been there to see and participate in this evening.
Colleen, girlfriend you know how to get things done! It was amazing how the folks in Sosua support this great cause. The amount of folks that showed up at the event was heartwarming. The door prizes were fabulous, can you imagine two prizes of free condos?!?!?! wow! I was great to meet all of the folks that are responsible for this cause.
I was totally in awe of Mark and Spanks ability to serve that many people at one time, and not trip over each other. What a team.
I can hardly wait for the next one!
JOB WELL DONE!
