Thanks, guys. It's been great fun and I'm looking forward to the new season.

We ended up with a kitty of about $2500 - we were talking of bringing in a guest artist from out of town or alternatively, (although board member Buddy Tabor suggested that he needed another Brazilian Rosewood guitar *G*) were discussing donating the money to them to upgrade our venue- it needed new carpeting, new chairs, an upgraded kitchen, etc.

However, in March our hosting facility burnt to rubble (an aggrieved arsonist set fire to the boat and building next door and we were in the line of fire, so to speak. You can go to www.trinityjuneau.org and by clicking on the link you can see it burn. Horrendous.) and we ended up donating the entire amount to the Restoration Fund. We feel good about it, but it does mean that we're starting from square one. In fact, we'll have to dip into our own pockets to pay the rent on the space we've reserved. *G*

Another day, another dollar!
