We had Perfect Weather (THANK YOU JESUS) with 26 boats Racing.   11 Churches Represented.  124 for Friday nights   111 for Dinner.  175 on Saturday for the racing with 111 lunches.   Dan Rockafellow kept us shouting Glory with Ray and Linda Reece's preparations for Food treats.  Thanks Andy's Frozen Custard for once again blessing us with Ice Cold Frozen Custard at the Regatta Location.  Rob Batchman blessed us with 2 great services and as always closer than a brother helping me all along the way to make boats and get them there and setup and take down and unload.  Wow!  Richard Michael and Rob as usual had everyone laughing hard at their antics as they tried to explain what the boys were doing out there in the middle of all that racing.    Many of you I could just keep on telling of the good you have done and I would forget someone but know.  God knows and it's all for His Glory and Eternity.  Thanks for letting me Serve.
