3rd Annual Karaoke for the Cure

Well the 3rd Annual Karaoke for the Cure is now behind us.  We did not raise quite as much money as we did last year but we did do better than we did the first year.  I said it during the event and I say it again, I do not envy the judges, because they had the hardest job of all.  I want to thank them for doing a great job in judging so many talented voices and performances.  Thank you June Byrd, Luis Byrd and Jennifer Dobson.  I want to thank Justin Nelson for all the hard work he put into this year's event and for doing a terrific job MC'ing.  Also thanks to my wife Kelley and my daughters Beth and Alyssa for all your help.
