Jim Chapman delivers over $800 to Brenda Neil of Escapees, for C.A.R.E
The happy contestants count the money raised for C.A.R.E., over $800 over two nights!!!It goes without saying that the Class of 2007 had alot of fun at the Gypsy Journal Gathering in Casa Grande. We are grateful to Nick and Terry Russell for hosting this great rally and allowing us to attend as a group.
As the time for the Miss Cactus Queen contest approached, the women of 2007 had to resort to unmentionable ways to persuade the men to participate in the contest. One of the "bribes" used was the suggestion that the contest would benefit Escapees C.A.R.E. in some way. Nick Russell graciously allowed the class to collect contributions for C.A.R.E. at the end of the show. The "Ladies" gathered at the exit door after the Queen was crowned and literally passed their hats!
The crowd generously responded, filling the hats with over $500 on the evening of the event, and our new Queen, Esther Estrogena (Sal Tumolo) returned to the door on the last evening of the rally collecting over $240!
Additionally, Paula Nankivell sold quite a few of her lovely handmade necklaces, contributing all of the proceeds to the pot, creating a total of over $800 collected for C.A.R.E. by the Class of 2007!
