When The Dust Settled!

When all things were said and done on Saturday the 15th, there was a lot more "said" than "done". Like Keanu Reeves said in The Replacements, sometimes it seems you're in quicksand and the more you struggle, the more that goes wrong, the worse things get and so on. Saturday night was a night of quicksand.

I won't go into all that went wrong, those there know the most important "hit" we took, one that cost us credibility. We had convinced many people that this cause we were working for was worthy of their time and effort. We were wrong, some forgave us, some may never trust us again. But we must move forward! For the audience and vendors that stepped forward last Saturday---you should be applauded. For the cause...we've been giving refunds.

Now from the professional entertainment standpoint, Lauren Alm and Christopher Maas were fantastic. Those in attendance thought that these two put on a first rate show and they did. Since we have commended the vendors and audience for their efforts on this show, we need to do the same for the performers and crew. The audience, other than empty seats, did not know there were any issues and saw a first rate effort all around.

So to all our participants last Saturday, the audience, the vendors, the performers and crew-outstanding job! You make this writer proud to be associated with a such a classy and professional group of people. On Feb. 19th the classic rock cover band Right Turn Only will be performing for The Faith Medical Clinic. Until later, stay tuned.
