Tom, Jim and I wish
to thank all of you for another successful Camp and Brew! Some of the
highlight’s of this year’s event include:
- Great shirts for our guests
- Clean, private porta potty
- Seeing CampAndBrew.com on
Cole Carter’s
IPS car
- New street signage marking the corner of “Camp” and “Brew”
- No troubles with our neighbors this year
- Coverage of Camp and Brew and
Brian’s Wish on
WIBC (listen
to it here)
- Tommy DaComic being mistaken for Jimmy Kite at the Last Row Party
- Special guest from the IRL spending time with us
- Finding a surprise guest sleeping in Tom's bed Friday evening
- Having Brian's family spend a ton of time with us as well as probably
nearly a dozen of his friends coming by.
- Chez Bubba's
fantabulous food
- Having one of the ladies who sang the national anthem at C&B and
getting pictures with her
- The opportunity to spend time talking and tipping a brew with well
over 150 of you folks over the course of the weekend.
Among the fun and
frivolity of it all, we continue to be amazed at the generosity of all
our online friends who help with our event and give to our designated
charity, Brian’s
Wish.
I have to admit that I thought we would have a hard time topping the
$1,600 we raised last year, but you all came through and we ended up
with a total of $2,630 for
Brian’s Wish! We
thank you, Brian’s family thanks you, and untold numbers of people with
ALS/Lou Gehrig’s Disease thank you! Let’s continue to pray that medical
research comes up with a cure in the very near future.
I hope we don’t miss anyone, but special thanks are due to the following
people who did a variety of things for us and
Brian’s Wish
over the course of the weekend:
