First off, I wanted to thank you very much for helping out with the Longshot judging last weekend. With 451 entries, we really needed your assistance, and you certainly came through for us!!
I wanted to give a special thanks to Luann Fitzpatrick for her incredible work arranging all of those entries on Friday night. There is simply no way that we would have been able to pull off the competition without her amazing organizational skills and all the time (late into the night) that was spent getting those entries into some semblance of order. You are a Goddess! (^8~
Another big thanks goes to Ted Grudzinski, who also put in a lot of time and effort, and fortunately brought along a computer and printer that allowed us to get the entry info out to the judges so that all could be done properly.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
