Lobsterfest for MS 2011 (continued) . . .

While I co-chair this event with my very good friend and former Hoss’s Manager, Donna Bon, there are many other Hoss’s family members who deserve the credit for their total dedication to this event year in and year out. Hoping that I have not forgotten anyone, I wish to thank the following Hossers (including former Hossers) for all that they did this year. Special thanks to Bob and Karen Pleva, Dan and Donna Bon, Bill and Julie Bratton, John and Rhonda Brown, Bill Campbell,  Pam Weakland, Dave Decker, Dave and Pam Elliott, Chip Gapshes, Rob Billet, Ann McKay, Tami Smith, Troy Horner, Pat Imler, Todd Hill, Nancy Homan, Rick Kroft, Dan Mutter, Sean and Jenn Neff, Barb and Rocky Rhodes, Mark and Kelly Ritko, Tom and Cynthia Smith, Billie Jo Walls, Mark Spinazzola, Dan Starry, Phil Sukenik, Dan and Valerie Vandrew,  Dane and Kim Sager, Patty Morgan, Ryan Mazoff, Dan Mutter, Jacob Walls, Justin Despoy, Allen Hainsey, David Langham and Betsy (Hoover) Lehman. (Quite a list, isn't it? I hope I did not forget anyone!  Now you can see what I mean about all of the Hoss's help.)

This year's event netted more than $30,000. All of the proceeds go to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society which is a non-profit organization working to find a cure for the debilitating disease that effects so many of our loved ones. The National MS Society is dedicated to serving the needs of people with MS and their families. Hopefully, one day soon a cure will be found and events such as this will not be necessary.

I am always impressed with the spirit and expertise that the Hoss's family brings to any undertaking that we consider worthwhile. It is with great pride that I call you my family.
