Default Waterside Appreciation Letter

Hi, ALL, I received the below email this morning from Ruth and Michelle and wanted to share it with all who attended our 4th Annual Vettes at Waterside Sat.
Stay safe
Rick

Hello Rick and everyone,
Michelle and I wanted to be sure to extend our heartfelt gratitude for
including our team and the American Cancer Society in your Annual Corvette
show. Everyone did a great job to coordinate the event, and it went off
without a hitch. Rick and Jack are very dedicated and enthusiastic. We thank
Steve for Waterside's blessing. We were also happy to also have Antonetta and
Hooters join the event, doing so much to make it a success. It was an awesome
sight to see all the cars, and to also see the public roaming around. The
corvette owners were very gracious and many expressed their enthusiasm that
money was being raised for the Relay for Life. In speaking with the corvette
owners, we found out that so many are touched by cancer one way or another.
This event raised just over $2.000 to fund programs for cancer patients in
this area, to provide free materials on cancer to the public, and to fund
cancer research so that we can come closer and closer to a cure.
Thank you all again!
Michelle and Ruth

Racin' is fun .... trophies are cool .... even good natured bashing is a blast. But this is what really warms the heart ... when things that bring us fun can help those who cannot help themselves!

To Michelle and Ruth .. thanks for providing the opportunity. Glad we could help! You two are angels on earth!

Good to see the money go to a good cause. Looking forward to doing it again, either in the fall or next year!
