Being Thankful!

Greetings:
I just want to share my thoughts and my thankfulness for the the wonderful event this past Sunday.  I want to thank everyone for attending, for the hard work done by all.  Beginning with the kitchen crew, the wonderful servers (we had celebrity servers)  Judges Connelly & Kuhlman, law clerks, TV Personality Hostess Doni Miller, lovely teenagers , church friends & family it was just incredible as to the friendship and fellowship that was shared and shown.  I give God the Glory because we are all His children!!  I must also mention the live entertainment from It's Essential to the golden voice of Nathan Gurley both of these performers have graciously donated their time for the last 2 years.  Mr. Gurley has been with us since our 1st year and we truly love him and thank him. Emmitt and the gang - we love you too!  The children of the Josh Project were beautiful and oh so special.  They stood tall with their certificates - one day they will look back on their JP lessons fondly and remember!  I am also grateful that my parents were in attendance and doing well.  My dad is 81 and my mother is 79 and I thank God!  There were so many people there - I think we had around 450 to 500 total!!AND it was snowing outside!!(Shawn Anderson from Norfolk State University representing USA Swimming Foundation was in attendance.  I love you like my own son Shawn)  The Silent Auction was okay too!  Next year it will be even better - as each year we try to improve from the year before. If you didn't make it this year - you missed a gay old time!  Hopefully we will see you next year at the 4th Annual Soul Food Extravaganza Dinner & Fundraiser!!!  Merry Christmas to all.  Peace, Love & Joy.....Toledo's Lifesaver!
