Our Mardi Gras party last night was the culmination of many hours of hard work by so many of you and was it absolutely wonderful! Thank you for all you did to make this important fundraising event a tremendous success. In next day or two we’ll have the final accounting of our net revenues but at this point we have grossed over $13,400! Clearly, Ann Pauley and her committee members, Eric Abuneel, Pat Blackwell, Rosemary Bryant, Steve Etheredge, Marissa Evans, Sally Langer, Cory Manning, Leighton McLendon, Valerie Russell, Debbie Sowell and Whitney Woolfolk did an absolutely fabulous job. They could not have accomplished this alone without the efforts of each and every one of you.

During the course of evening I was approached several times by our guests with comments about the our Mardi Gras event. Some of the things I heard included “best one yet” and “Sertoma people really know how to throw a party!” The one I heard most often in one form or another however was “I’ll be back again next year.” Their kind words were in no small part because of you – from obtaining awesome auction items to making our guests feel so welcome upon arrival (and throughout the evening) and everything in between.

Once again, thank you for everything you did in making this evening the enjoyable success is was. Your hard work and dedication is what SERvice TO MAnkind is all about.
