Fred, please accept our sincere apology for our neglecting to get your name in the vendor list. The pedal you gave was outstanding and one of our most popular items. We greatly appreciated the donation. As Barbara said, the minute we stepped into the room we got extrememly busy and I apologize again for not getting your name on the list. All donations are so greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you Fred Justice with Fred's Music for your generosity.
Barbara and I, along with Albert Talley organize the Benevolent Fund. Although, we do organize the benefit, we have always had people who work as diligently as we do every year. The Fund would never be a success without the help of these loyal people who work and give each and every year. Jim and Janet Wise work tirelessly every year. Not only do they work so hard raising money for the fund, but where can you find such great entertainment as they provide? We missed Sissy Privitt this year, but with great understanding of her need to stay away with the passing of her husband Glen so soon. We are so grateful to those who sell tickets for us and those who give so generously of their products and all the people who purchase the products or just give cash. I am always amazed at the generosity of all the people in our steel guitar family. Bobby Bowman has helped earn so much money for the Benevolent fund with his humor and ability to squeeze money out of almost anyone for anything. We had two newbies this year for MC's for the show. Bill Ferguson and Mike Siler who did great jobs. They never knew they had that as part of their job, but they definitely rose to the occasion just like professionals. Thanks to Louie Haliford for his help as well. It seemed like Linda Ferguson had always been a part of the Benevolent fund. She was willing to do whatever was asked of her and took control without being asked as well. Bonnie Taylor,Ann Mosely, Toni Bowman and her sweet granddaughters along with Elaine Gondeson sold one of the largest amount of tickets and to Laurie who did not even blink or reach for the money she got from the 50/50, but so generously just returned it back to the Benevolent Fund.
We organize and we work, but the credit goes to you, the vendors, the volunteers, the MC's, and to all of you who took the time to purchase or realize how many people this fund truly helps.
May God Bless you for all you do for this Benevolent Fund. We love you and once again Thank you and apologize if we forget to mention any one of you.
