You failed to even mention Pirates On The Panhandle who were responsible for securing a large number of the sponsors (approximately $2400.00 worth) and almost all of the auction items for the event and who were on hand to sell the tickets the day of the event (which raised approximately $1133.00) ~ nor did you mention Island Life Social Club who’s volunteers were there the night before to distribute the t-shirts and who were there the day of the event to handle the registrations.
