Billy I'm still waiting for you to scan Frank and your highschool photos!

Those were a scream and I could see where his son gets his looks.

You also know what his son will look like in 30 years too.

Frank,
I took a picture at the end of the evening using my cousin John's camera of all 6 of the 'organizing' guys - ask him to email it to you and post it here.

Thanks again for a wonderful time

Pat I was too your left and snaped 3 shots as well. I did this rather fast. Maybe you did not notice.

Billy nice pics, Too bad the wine bottles are gone in the back ground but I think Joe will believe they were there. I took a few shots with my camera of the wines that I will post as soon as I can.

Thanks Billy


Frank, please tell us the name of your friends from Left to Right - I want to send this link to my Mom.
John is the son of my mothers' late older brother Billy and he looks VERY much like his dad!

From left to right Standing next to me is Sal who I now have hooked up buying good wine and just bought 4 of the Brunellos on sale at winestilsoldout today then me John the President My friend Franco who was the one that made sure everything was neat and perfect then Anthony who really worked hard both setting up and breaking down. Without these guys this event could not have happened. The guy in the back ground is the old President who BTW stoped me from doing this event in prior years. John took the chance and it paid off,
BTW in another picture you will see Sal's Daughter waving hi serving the Martini's from the little window.

I wanted to add that Frank and Cheech wine distributors were the biggest donor. Frank brought in over $2000 worth of wine and Lemon-cello for the tasting and donated the close to $700 he collected that day in sales which was a total shock. I had no idea he was doing that until 2 hours before the start. In fact we all had our fingers crossed that he was showing up, See he was in Orlando and did not get back in until 1 am the night before. I could not get a hold of him until after 1pm the day of the event, Yes my underwear turned brown. Once I spoke to him I knew everything was on track and even better since we now had some Great lemon-cello added in.

We have a meeting tonight, I will let you all know how much we made in the morning. If you guys want to have some fun try guessing how much we made. If you guess it with in $10 I will send you a bottle of wine. Crew not allowed to guess.

Hi to all from all in Dubllin Ireland. Firstly apologies for not being in touch earlier.Our home email was down and my office one has a "blocker "on TSF (wonder why...hmm ).
Anyway we were made so so welcome by all. It was a great evening ..indeed far too short and we did not get an opportunity to meet "all".Marjorie and I really enjoyed ourselves and hopefully our group helped raise a good sum for a good cause . Thanks again.
