Hello to all of our ISES friends & heroes!!

Pardon the lateness of this e-mail, but I have been digging out from under the auction aftermath!  But that in no way means that I have forgotten how beautifully each and every one of you brought your time, talent and energy over the last few months to insure that this year’s TOAST TO LIFE was the most successful event to date.  All week we have been receiving calls, e-mails and people just stopping by to say that this year’s TOAST was the best yet!  And we have ISES to thank for that!

I want each of you to know who much we appreciate EVERYTHING each of you have contributed to the success of Saturday night’s event.  I have been continually overwhelmed by your tireless efforts, boundless energy, enthusiasm and good humor throughout the months of preparation that it has taken to get us up to and through TOAST TO LIFE this year.  At every turn, you were there to manage and overcome any obstacle that arose.   

What a team of ROCK STARS you assembled for our event!  Saturday afternoon I stopped and looked around and I saw each of you tending to the tasks at hand, and I knew we were in the best hands possible.  This whole process has been exactly like that because of your unmatched professionalism, care and attention to every detail.  I can not thank you enough for making us look so good!

And so, on behalf of the entire RCD staff, the Board of Directors and most importantly all of the people – some you will never see or know – that can breathe a little easier because of how hard you have worked on their behalf.  For them – the thousands of men, women and children that rely on the Resource Center for assistance – I thank you for your time, your talent, your determination and your generous spirit.

To you, my friends, I raise my glass in a Toast to YOU!

With great appreciation and affection,

Raymond
