Great photos. It's nice to be able to put faces to a few " across the pond" names. It sounds as if your event was great. We recently held our annual fundraising silent auction here in Edmonton. We had about 100 folks turn out and managed to rasie about $5000 to share between ourselves and Trout Unlimited to help defer our operating costs and support our outreach eforts, plus an additional $700 for the "Casting For Life" ladies ( a breast cancer recovery group)
