Thanks everyone for a great show. It was good to finally meet you Don! The club really did an awesome job! I finally got back home to nor-cal at about 10:45pm. Jeff went on to Santa Barbara to finish that pond that he started on Thursday. We really enjoyed talking with everyone. I hope the girls enjoyed their jewelry!!! Congrats to Ginger who won the necklace at the banquet!
