The diner was amazing! We beat our intended finish time by 15 minutes. 950 seats were sold. Sponsorship is WAY up! We had a total of 97 paid sponsors, spread between bronze, silver, gold and platinum sponsors. The food was good and the money flowed.

It will be a couple of weeks before the final total is known, but it looks like we did very well. We are ALL very tired at the end of the night, but it was worth the effort.

It is a great time spending time with friends and knowing you have done something to preserve our wetlands heritage.

It was wonderful to see the United States at it's best. More than a thousand people, coming together, to improve our lives and environment. Our colors were presented and thanks given.

Thousands of man hours go into making these events a success. It is an honor to be a small part of the effort.

I cant even imagine the planning that goes into this event.. I know I am only seeing a small part of it.. Lots of hard work and rarely do I feel that good after working that hard.
Great event and anyone reading this really should make a attempt to come check it out in Monroe. Food was fantastic,,First Barbecue feast of 2014 for me and pretty sure its going to be hard to beat.
I had another great Lady from the bank with me and she made the evening very pleasant along with talking to all the attendees and other members from the chapter.
Hoping the numbers come in where they need to for the Chapter.

Even the drunk guy was fun.:cool:

To say there is a LOT of work that goes into that even it an understatement to be sure. Several of us went to get something to eat after we unloaded the truck at the shed on Sunday after. The talk was what we may want to do different for next years dinner. It's starting already. It actually never ends. Even as the chapter is doing the wrap up on this years event the work on next years has started.

Thank you for you help. You are right, seldom does one do that much work, get that worn out, and feel so good at the end of the day.
