Mark Bostock won the Bed in a bag, Kindly donated by Ken Bridge from Bridge Interiors. A big thank you to Bob Cartier from A&W and Trevor Gordon from Boston Pizza. You guys always come  through with great  food for the league. and it is Greatly appreciated. Randy Rundberg deserves a big shoutout as well for bringing Meat and Cheese Trays, and also for ensuring that all the peperoni sticks were adequately cleaned.  Mark Swirsky and Jesse Yosinaka organized the beer fridge giveaway, thank you to them. Of course no listing of people to thank would be complete with out a VERY big thank you to Wayne Walmsley, who besides keeping me sane and grounded, never fails to assist in all that we do.
