Dear Friends,
Thank you so much to all of you who stuck by me
through this years event.  Things got very scary towards
the end - we were afraid we would not have enough of
the items that makes this event a success.  We then
vamped up our website and turned to the media and
newspapers and asked for their help in making the
public aware of our situation.  We said a lot of prayers
and in the end our prayers were answered.

I would like to give a personal thanks to my committee
and personal friends who stuck by me to the end -  
Thank You we could not have done this without you.

My best regards,
Mary Perez
