Second Place Is A Good Place

This past weekend, June 4th and 5th, Marty's Angelz, a 24 Hour Relay team composted of Salmon Kings Booster Club members, friends, and family joined 46 other teams as we all did our laps and other activites as we collectively raised $422,588 to allow disabled children to attend Camp Shawinigan, where as Cliff Lequesne and Ed Bain said on stage, "its not about disabilites, its about abilities." Garage sales, bake sales,bottle drives,raffle and couponbook sales,a car wash, and a Karoke Night and Silent Auction at Soprano's were all fundrasing ativites out team held.  When the announcement were made at the Relay's wrapup, our friendly archrivals, The Lightening Crickets were the champion fundrasing team, and our Marty's Angelz finished second. Not bad, considering the length of the SKings season, meaning we basically had a six and half week window for fundraisng.        With the Salmon Kings offically "ceasing operations". that means that the booster club will also wrap things up. But not quite---with the heart of a lioness, our President Jen Holmwood, backed up byteam co-captain Denis Harvey, the executive and the membership, we are keeping our 24 hour relay team, which you can now find on Facebook under Marty's Angelz 2012.   So over the coming months, when you get an email about donations or to buy a ticket to an event we may hold, please respond postively.  In the end, not matter if we finish first or second, everyone wins. Still it would be nice to be on top next year!!!
