Jeri and Mario, it was great to see each of you again. Don't stay away so long next time, ya hear?

ranger1 and Jim, no more excuses. Start planning now for next year. Missed Keith Baldwin too.

As already mentioned above, Abby was a delight.

Amos and LEJ, thanks for letting me tag around after the two of you, year after year.

Jacqui, a new tamborine will be on the way shortly.

Russ, I'd pm you if I could. Sorry I didn't figure out who you were (what do you think name tags are for, Janie?) until I saw your post earlier in this thread. Annie is going to be sorry to have missed you, (she was sorry to miss the Getaway, period) - but had to cancel on short notice.

Thanks to everyone who donated to, or bid on, silent auction items.   Jennifer announced that most (all?) of the scholarship fund was used up this year- folkies have been hit as hard by the recession as anyone else. I think the auction was a bit more successful than it had been for the past few years. Hopefully, between the auction and the mummer's play, it is getting a decent start at being replenished.
