Hey there everyone,

As a reminder, the doors open at 6:00pm. Dress is casual, and yes, jeans are OK. We've been asked by a few people about this and we will be able to accept Mastercard and Visa payments should you win any items. Of course checks and cash are great as well.

The big event happens in less then 24 hours. We're really excited about it and it's shaping up to be a great night. We've spent the last couple of days getting stuff organized and labelled and packaged and ready.

We have a lot of great items and I'd like to share a short list of some of them:

• A One Year Family Membership to the Vancouver Aquarium for up to 5 people
• 4Gb iPod Nano
• A One Night Stay at the River Rock Casino in Richmond, BC with a $200 gift certificate for use anywhere in the hotel

We can hardly believe the support we've received from family and friends and our community. The response has surpassed what we had initially thought possible when we started planning this fundraiser. We would like to thank everyone that has donated something or helped out in any of a hundred different ways. Names are to numerous to mention but a heartfelt Thank You goes to you all.

Lots of Love,

Tore, Kathie, Allie and Beautiful Angel Hannah
