"Volunteers are seldom paid; not because they are worthless, but because they are PRICELESS!" --author unknown

Terra Nurses Association can not express our gratitude enough for every one's baked items. Our table looked absolutely amazing. Thanks to all that participated we had a huge delicious selection to choose from. It was obvious everyone put a lot of time and energy into baking and packaging. Every single item we sold looked so yummy. We are so thankful to all of you, and so PROUD of you! You pitched in when you were needed. You gave of yourself and your resources.

I also want to thank all of you who volunteered to work the table. You took out your time to be there, help set-up, and reel them in! We have some undercover hustlers! LOL These guys could have sold glasses to a man with no ears. Those baked items could have sold themselves...but these guys were aggressive and enthusiastic sales people. I think at one point Billy auctioneered. Several people commented that certain individuals made the wrong career choice as nurses --that they should be in sales.

Both classes put in effort, it was so nice to see everyone involved in this, but the 1st year students really made a special effort. The majority of the baked items were provided by them, and many of them volunteered to work the table. Thank all of you so much!
