This year we also had a fun run. This was put together by: Bullhead, Rogman, Megstoytoo and Barry from Jax, Fla. I thank each and everyone of you!!! Well done.

We had a great turn out for our first fun run. I assume 60+ people filled the bar area of Smithfield Station. . . . . . . .
I got a very few pics there cause the boats were kinda spread out across the marina. Anyone get better shots?

I do know one thing... my coolers where a whole lot lighter getting them out of the boat when we got home!!
Did'nt hear of any major mechanical issues, just some loose bolts and screws! which is always good!

That why I bring the "big" guys with me so I don't have to lift the heavy coolers! Only problem is they drink all the beer inside them while I'm driving, lol. I had two screws come loose in my fridge that hold the front of the freezer flap/door but everything else including the LED TV survived.

"I hear a certain Sunsation owner may have been seen scoping out or shopping the competition. . . . .
A committee member was rumored to have been told (in NY accent) "YA HAD ONLY TREE JOBS ANDYA PUCKED EM ALL UP. . . . . . TREE JOBS!!!!"
IF you were at the party Saturday Evening, you will remember that we made 2 Check Presentations:
• $35,000 Check payable to Susan G. Komen For the Cure for Breast Cancer
• $5,000 Check payable to the AGC (Associated General Contractors) Scholarship Fund

That $30,000 will make a significant impact on so many lives in our community ... The Recipients THANK YOU as well!"




Umm....I think that adds up to $40,000.....so make that 4 jobs .......You guys continue to raise the bar every year.....I had so many of the committee members come and thank me for coming and really I should have been thanking them for putting on such a great event....and thank-you to everyone for being so nice to the Begin family from Canada.....they commented several times about how friendly everyone was to them
