Frank,

I know you asked me about the pictures, I only have one good one of the our table. Had I known you wanted more pics of the event I would have walked around and taken more shots. I had a great time meeting Spence, and Brother Cooney again.

Will upload the picture tomorrow.

I am going to need a few days to sort it out but it looks like we made $6,000 profit, We had about $4,000 we spent so we grossed more than last year with about 100 persons less. We had about 50 items to bid on including home made wine and a bottle of Sassacia and 2 Opus. The Caymus brought in a nice dollar but I was hoping to get $200 when it only sold for $170. We had 7 bottles of Ruffino gold that went for $50-$60 and Spence got one of them. I also know what my wife bought me for my birthday.

I regret not walking around last night and taking more shots. I was too busy with good company, and watching Frank auction off Bottle after Bottle of wine, Beer, and Cigars.

Wow we just figured out what we made. We grossed well over $10,000 but we had some big expenses that put us at about $6,700 profit which is greater than last year by almost $1000 with 100 less people attending. We had over 50 items up for auction, That is where the bulk of the money came from but that is where the bulk of the money was spent. I had some of the hardest and best wines out there on auction and the high end ones all made a nice profit although I was expecting more from the Sassicia which I had my own wife bidding on but had her stop because my Cousin wanted it and we were bidding against each other. See not many people know that Sassicia was John Goti's wine and My cousin who won it was the man who got to see John Goti last, yep he owns the funeral home were John Goti was laid out so I know that he wanted that bottle more than me. He told me he was trying to get that for years but could not find it. I wonder if our buddies at Wines 'Til Sold Out can get it and speaking of wtso there 4 bottles were all high end and brought in about $600 The Robert Mondivi Mag brought in $210.

Now what we are thing of doing with the founds is buy the School new Defibrillator's or re charge the old ones. I have to look into this as I know nothing about it or even what it costs. Another idea was to redo the school Kitchen.
BTW the woman that I was talking about earlier worked for wine spectacular and Cigar aficionado
