Hey guys,

Thanks for all of your participation, encouragement, and fortitude during BB’08. Dawn and myself were amazed how many people came forward, asked what they could do and did it. It was really a true group activity. The site was very clean and it just took a little cleaning to bring everything back to normal.

Now for the bad news (not horrible). As most of you know, Dawn and myself are grandparents and Olivia was born on May 1^st. We missed her first birthday party but there were about 60 other people attending so no big deal. If there is any interest in having BB’09 at the same location, we would like to move it forward one week to May 11, 2009. I know this is not the national date but it is a family thing. Let me know if this works.

So for now, thanks again for bringing in the good weather. We only wish you could have brought it a day earlier while we were trying to set up the event. Send me ideas during the year. I promise to have a little more structure next year and it is highly likely that the hot water system will ratchet up a couple of additional steps.

Cheers for now!

Rick Oftel
