THANK YOU !!!!

I can not say Thank You in the way to express my sincere appreciation to all those who came out to volunteer this year.

The Cape Coral HIGH SCHOOL kids are so wonderful along with Trish and the girls... Glenna, The Dobbs and Connie my sweet friend, you all came in with so much enthusiasm. I know next year will be even more successful.

Santa (emergency sit in) THANK YOU and your Dear Sweet Wife, Mrs. Claus. The night would never be the same without all your time and warmth towards the kids (of all ages)

For those who were not there we had a few snags... The party started off with a bang. Party goers registered with everything on time.. The Bob Evans food in the warmers and out to the line on time, the "nuggets" about 30 minutes longer than I had planned so the food line got a late start, Our wonderful "REAL" Santa broke his leg at noon and it was thought coming in , in a wheel chair might be traumatic to the children so Mrs. Claus's actual real life husband stepped up to the plate...put the jolly red suit on.... The next was a HUGE 911 fire which took our Shiny red fire engine...LOL yes tis is all true, I am not making this up. SO at 6 pm this wonderful DJ starts playing and things are hoping... in about a 1/2 hour our music man shows up and says he is Our music man...??? So who is on the stage playing???? I gently approach the DJ who informs me he was called and told to be here..that the women who called him to be here knew the women who works at the yacht club... OK !?* I am confused.... but it is getting everyone up dancing so OK... about 1/2 hour later he packs up and leaves.... Jeff is outside playing the guitar on the park bench.... the night security approaches me to say the DJ was at the wrong event and was to be in the "other" party... I got a "free" hour of music. So he gets Jeff off the bench and on to the stage.. LOL Comedy at it's best. The food was great, Jeff got the kids involved in singing and the volunteers began to get kids singing in group... Many were busy a the craft table making gifts for parents. The raffle gave two children brand new bikes. All the children left with smiling faces.

The biggest difference was.....the volunteers CLEANED EVERYTHING UP... THANK YOU THANK YOU> I can not Thank you enough.

See you all next year.... Party Photos are coming.
