I want to thank every one for making this the most successful TAKF of all four years! We had a total of 22 boats with over a hundred people participating, including the 23 kids from the home.
Some of the feedback I got was:
- "The kid on my boat throws the Cajun Thunder better than some of my clients."
- "Don, I want to go on this same boat next year."
- "Mom, can we take Logan home with us? ...Are you telling me no?"
- "Get me the name and address of my captain. I want to send him a personal thank you letter."
- "What a great day."
- "How do I get involved with FBCH?"
- "When can we do it again?"
And the comments keep coming in!
Everyone - I want to thank you for all your kindness and generosity in giving one day back to the kids.
