Holy Cow Wow.
I can’t even describe the feeling I had when I got home on Sunday night- besides extremely exhausted, I was stoked that everything worked out and the event was a huge hit.
Pit Crew & Start Line
You guys were awesome.
Wendy – it was very much my pleasure to meet you and see you in action.
Ricky & Nico – One minute you’re on registration, the next on Pit Row and the next in the Finals. Wow! Unbelievable job.
Lisha – stunning performance. Please send my gratitude to your friends who were awesome as well.
Alan & Ryan – stupendous. Thank you thank you.
Robin – based on the news footage, I think you stole the show. ;-) And Mariah – thanks for being there. You grounded me. J
Finish Line Crew
Sebi & Marsha – super duper coordination down at the finish line… and Patrick, Adi and judges and goodness – Everyone!
JCI * Junior Chamber International Booth
Luis – Thank you so much for sweating thru the day and taking care of business at the JCI / Raffle Booth. And ladies – Beatriz, Lisa, Adi and who else? Super Super Job. Thanks for tallying the judges’ cards too.
Chamber Team
Dave – you rocked those last minute volunteers and I (we all) thank you! I know our beverage tents were well-manned and people’s thirsts were quenched!
Alliance Crew
Loved the bed! Thanks again for helping to sponsor the Coneheads shirts. Hope to see you again next year!
And to the Committee and Ms. DAISY and MS. CRIS – This whole thing didn’t happen without you guys. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of it !!!
If I’ve missed anyone – I’m a still-brain-dead-nerd and you can slap with a pool noodle. And if you missed the event, click those links above and kick yourself in the shins. See you next year.
Follow-up Brunch!
SUNDAY, September 20th, 2009 at Jaguar in the Grove at NOON – It will be P.F.Y.O.F. (Pay-for-your-own-food) and just a recap of the event, storytelling time and a chance to provide input for next year’s event. You MUST r.s.v.p. to me (jane@gailbaldwin.com) by Thursday, 9/17 so I know who’s comin’! (And so I can give Jaguar a head’s up.) – Also, I just might be handing out “Jane’s Best-of-?” Awards ;-) This is totally a me-thing and not sponsored by the Grove Merchants Group or the Committee… just for me and my pals to chat.
Thank You times a gazillion!
Jane
