Anyone seen this Cowboy?

Last evening Kathy and I were guests of the Grace United Church for their Annual Time & Talent Auction.  Great meal, super company, but most of all, an important fund raiser for upcoming church initiatives.  The Grace United Church plans to expand adjacent their current location and we couldn't be happier to see this initiative in the downtown core of our city.

Why the hat?  Well, Shep started a fund raiser where you buy a "Ring Man" a hat, then you can buy your way out of it and pass it on.  Guess who was the first to be "gifted" the opportunity to engage in this fun fundraising idea?  I was kind enough to buy it off my head and pass it to Gary Young, who I believe made a donation after wearing it for a while and made Ken Kay an honourary Ring Man.

Congratulations to the organizers for a very nice evening and for bringing together good community folks to support the Grace United Church.  Highlight of the evening, without a doubt, auctioning off a table cloth made by 104 year old Mrs. MacKay, who joined the lucky bidder Gwen Mohrbutter for a picture.
