So, roughly we had:
100 adults plus children
7 new members to the club
Approx 170 items in the "mini auction"
We went through:
22 Two Litre bottles of soda.
24 Pounds of ice
15 pounds of meatballs,
50 hot dogs
120 rolls
400 cookies
7 bags of chips
and a ton of veggies. lol
Thank you
Wendy for making the Veggie platter

I am sorry I did not see who else did.

Thank you Lonny and Kurt for doing the auction.
Thank you Richard, Marge, Sarah, Tracey, Mike and John for working the tables while I ran around like I was nuts.
Thank you to Uncleruckus's boys for their help along with Kets.

Thank you Julie for setting up the donation box from Atlantis.
Thank you to all that donated to the club yesterday.
Thank you Fischfan13 for brining your possie down.
Thank you Ad for always making our meetings great and for being THE CICHLID GOD.
Thank you to all members for being in the club. It was only about 5 years ago a couple of us discussed just shutting the club down. We were tired of doing the work and not many people were participating. Meetings were 20 people of less. The mini auction was 5 items. Those days are gone. This club still is growing and getting stronger.
Thank you to everyone that I forgot to thank. I always manage to upset someone when I decide to do some thank you's. I am sorry.
I only have one more thing to say at this point.
We are:
The Capital Cichlid Association, Inc.
