That is outstanding. We have a great time and help Graham County at the same time. Doesn't get any better then that. Jim
Thank you everyone that donated! I love that we help the local community while we are having loads of fun. That really is what being MINI is all about IMO.
ding dangit....forgot to include the $150.00 that the C3M gang raised with the poker run. That brings our grand total to $9.724.00
Having consolidated all the food after the Bingo game, I can tell you we surface-loaded 2 3x8' tables with a pile of food underneath each that overflowed beyond the table boundaries - and it wasn't all just Ramen Noodles either. Also, that was after Bingo - i believe MORE food may have been donated later. In total, likely at least enough food to bring donations to a cash value likely exceeding $10,000. Wow.
