Suriname or Bust!

Many, many, many thanks to everyone who came to my Suriname or Bust! BBQ & Fundraiser. Thanks to all of you I not only reached my goal, but passed it. I'm speechless about that. I feel really good going forward knowing that I've already accomplished so much just having raised funds for Canadian Crossroads International and the work they do.

As for the BBQ, I'm not even sure where to begin. It was a crazy night and good times were had. From the man-size pig we roasted to the fire department showing up. To say it was memorable would be an understatement. At the very least it was a helluva send-off party! I want to throw out a few thank-yous out to the people that made it happen:

- My mom & dad I couldn't have done it without you
- Kevin & Michelle ditto you guys are amazing.
- My neighbours Dave & Barb Smith from roasting the pig to gathering so many wonderful prizes.
- My friend Jen who thinks she did nothing but did SO much.
- My cousin John & all the rest who helped carve that man-size pig. We wouldn't have eaten without you!
- Nellie & Darlene for your excellent auction ticket sales...and for getting the fire department all worked up before sending them my way!
- Country Johns for the toilet.
- Corrie, Mia and so many others who brought the wonderful desserts.
- Ida thank you for the tables & chairs they were put to very good use.
