Last night was the 4th Annual Team Wench Pyrate Feast (link to the right). Every year, just before we close down, there's an announcement of the gross for the night, usually coupled with a plea to donate just a little more to make it to the next level.
IIRC, the gross for the first one was slightly under $3,000.
#2 brought in around $4,000.
#3 brought in $6,000.
The final numbers aren't in for last night yet, but when the call went out to take us to the next level we only needed $28...
...to make it up to $14,000! The final push, which included a unique gold and silver pin created for feast #2, took us up over $15,000.
Have I mentioned that much of the entertainment and food and all of the raffle prizes are donated? The expenses for these feasts are below a grand, including the seed money for next year.
HIP, HIP, HUZZAH TEAM WENCH! And a double cheer for everyone involved in actually making this year's feast happen.
