For a most awesome event, last night!!! To all the sponsors....Your Awesome!! To all those who bought tickets!! Awesome!! To all my friends who put up with me the last week or two awesome!!
Food was fantastic.....Entertainment, awesome..... But most importantly our special guests had the time of their life!! They left back home this afternoon..... tired but extremely happy!!
A huge successful weekend.... Yesterday when we took them out on the boats...., A most interesting ride; white water rafting is nothing compared to the rollar coaster ride we went on yesterday.... But it's all good as we caught 14 huge rockfish.....
You will be able to see the pics of this awesome event (and the fish) in a few days on our Website.....

As I stated last night at the Gala, the American Legion is so much more than a bar where you can get cheap drinks...(an added bonus and benefit for sure).... but our primary focus is taking care of ALL VETERANS, and after that our Community, and I am proud to say that as much as we give all to our Vet's.... We give just as much to Kent Island. I am very proud of what we do....
And if you are eligible to be a member of the AL.....then why aren't you.... this whole weekend makes it worth it......
Thanks again KI Community....KIO Online buddies.... and everyone else!!
Sincerely,
Eine!!!

Eine,
First of all, you deserve a great, big, giant pat on the back!!! None of this would have worked without you, and you did a spectacular job!
I'm not going to get all mushy here, but I had tears in my eyes on more than one occasion and so did my husband and Junior Lady (thanks too, for taking the time to tell her about the Disney Movies..it meant a lot to her and to me.)
That being said, I intend to help again next year with donations and will definitely be in attendance again as well.
As soon as I get a couple "business matters" worked out over the next two weeks, I will be in to see you with my DD-214 in hand! I would like very much to join the planning committee for the Wounded Warriors Weekend project and help in any way to make next year another terrific success.
Great Job!
Water Lady ;D

Yes, I had a blast (as I'm sure you can attest to). Glad the guys had fun, and thanks again for the ride home!
