Hi Diane,
I just wanted to say thank you for everything you and Jerrid do for the brides. The tour on Saturday has opened my eyes to several more opportunities. I would have never thought to try at least 80% of the places we visited. Honestly, I never knew a few of them even existed. This has been such a great opportunity to see exactly what is in our area. Thank you again. If there is anything I can do to help out such a great cause, please let me know.
