The event was held Saturday, February 19 at Berry Hills Country Club

The evening started off with entertainment by
Mike (Elvis) Chapin

Here's Make-A-Wish kid Capri; who went on a trip to Disney.
She brought back a present for Angela (regional director).
Capri had a great wish - she was such a joy to get to know.

Tudor's Biscuit World presented a check for $5,000 to Make A Wish!
Angela Groves, regional manager, and Joi Ballard, regional assistant accept the check.

Let the gaming begin!
Participants used chips to play with; then cashed in for "funny money" at the end of the night
all the "funny money" winnings were used to bid on great items during the auction.
