Craig`s Thoughts & Thanks

The main reason I wanted to put on a MACNA was to make our club stronger.  I believe that it did in several ways.
It was amazing how much the club membership showed up & became involved.  I know I got to know many club members from outside my area much better, and I am glad for it.  Hopefully everyone else experienced the same.  Now when we get together for Fall Fest, Spring Fest, and the business meeting, we will know more names & faces.
I would like to thank my two partners Joel & JB.  They did just as much work as I did, if not more, so should receive equal credit in everything.
Joe developed an outstanding software program that worked great.  I know this took a ton of hours to do.  He also took charge of the raffle execution & planning taking a huge load off of us.
Jeanette spent countless hours putting together all the signage for the event.  Sending a few hundred emails & calls about it.
There are tons others that contributed a ton, so please do not be offended if I do not call you out.  Everyone knows who they are & the success they helped create.  Everyone played an intregal part that contributed to the overall success of the show.  The people that helped unload & set up booths.  The people that pushed the water around to the vendors.  The people that took care of the school tank.  The people that watched the doors & greeted everone as they came in.  The people who welcomed everyone at the registration desk, or sat in back and sold raffle tickets.  Those that took care of the back office business.  And those that hung around making sure all the vendors got packed up & out ok.
I am sure you all heard the same comments I did all weekend.  If you didn't here are a few so you can be proud.
"The most help I ever received from a host club"
"The best MACNA I have attended in my 20 years of attendance"
"I cant believe you guys brought us water, so considerate & thoughtfull"
" The best laid out & executed MACNA in history"
"The most friendly club they have ever visited"
There were many many more, so THANK YOU all who showed up and did anything.  No part was insignificant, it was a true club effort.
