Trees from Oregano

Pat Ripley Fezian is after something that has presence, that actually looks like a small stand of tropical bushes, and is cheap, tough and portable.

I can not express the heart felt thanks I have for all of the wonderful people who helped make this our best year ever!

Here are the numbers.

Total raised for Toys for Tots: $5,562 USD (New Record)
Total number of auction items: 61 (New Record)
Percentage of vendors who said "yes" when asked to donate to the Raffle: 100% (We have never had a dealer say "no". They are fantastic!)
Money raised by John Newman alone: $1,834 USD (We couldn't have had the year we had without him.)
Tickets sold for the Raffle: 1530
Amount raised for Toys for Tots by the Wednesday Night Painting Group (WNPG): $25 USDK+

Amount we could have raised with out the Volunteers, Painters, Donors, Vendors and Gamers who gave from their hearts and wallets: $0 USD

So to everyone I have mentioned before and especially to my friends and family of the Wednesday Night Painting Group, Thank you for making my job and easy one.

Of course I did forget to thank someone..

A big thank you goes out to the HMGS crew and Dan M. for letting us continue to run this event and take up space at the convention.

Also….not included in the cash tally above are the unwrapped toys dropped in the box. We filled the box to about 75% capacity. On a conservative side its about $300 USD in toys. The quality of toys was very high and iam sure there will be a lot of happy children because of your generosity!

Good Info Eric,

The $25 USDK figure does NOT include any of the Truck Loads of Toys that have been generously donated.
