I want to personally thank everyone that brought a donation to help the Homeless and the Salvation Army. I dropped all the food & Toiletries of at the Homeless shelter after the dinner here in Meriden. When they saw how much soap and shampoo we brought they couldn't have been happier. You would have thought I was dropping off bags of hundred dollar bills. It really made me feel proud of all that donated to see these people with real joy over a simple bar of soap. It really makes one reflect on how blessed our lives are.. The everyday things we take for granted can mean so much to someone else. I hope everbody that won a prize enjoys it. I wish I could have given each person that donated a gift in return. I think I came pretty close. Maybe next year? It's funny how you form a negative opinion about someone on the sole basis of what they post or howthey do things here on CTF without ever meeting them. Then you meet them like at a Game dinner and realize you really like this person and you were totally wrong on your opinion of that person or persons. I not gonna mention names,but it really was a pleasant expierence meeting you finally tonight and I really hope maybe someday we can go fishing together? Thanks to Tall 1, P Dona, Oh my God(Roxanne) PaulD, Ray Z, Largefry, Mermaid, GregS and a few others I'm forgetting for all the hard work you folks put into the clean up. The two ladies workes thier tails off and really deserve something for it.

The bar for CTF events has been set very high, they are all great and again through the hard work of members like Tall 1, P. Dona, Mermaid, Rox, Zach and countless others this one was fantastic.
The accomadations where spacious which fostered lots of chatter and meeting of new CTFers, the kitchen worked out very well and the "runners" made the raffle go along quickly.
The food, well, you couldn't find such a variety in 10 restaurants, just delicious. And for the raffle, worth the price of admission alone. For those who missed it, we are not talking a couple of hundred $, but thousands of $ of great prizes.
Thanks again to the CTF organizers and more inportantly, the CTF family continues to make a contribution to the future of two beautiful young children.
What a great time. It was nice to finally put some faces to the names I see here on the site. AWESOME food, great raffles, lots of fun and all the proceeds going to a very worthy cause. Kims black fish chowder, Crazy Ivans fish fry, Tonys pheasant, I could go on and on... Thanks to everyone who made it such a great night. Its a good feeling to know such a cool group of people.
You can say anything foolish to a dog, and that dog will still give you a look that says, "WOW!! What a great idea!! I never would have thought of that!!"
