I am proud to announce that we have beat our previous record and will be donating over $5600 to our charities this year. The exact total won't be in until we get our payment from the cinema, but it should top that number in the end.
We had (approx) 250 people on Friday night, even in the rain they were standing in line for almost an hour before the doors open and almost 300 (sold out) on Saturday. Our auctions did gang busters and we saw more money than normal coming in this year. I chalk this up to us taking credit cards for the first time, people don't mind spending more that way.
For other cities that are not taking credit cards, you really should. Here is a free and easy way to do it:

Thanks to everyone for making our event such a wonderful success. Photos will be posted on our site soon!
