That is just great, Bob. My hats off to you for pushing your limits and making a new friend at the same time. The Cape Cod fundraiser sounds like fun. Best of luck if you decide to go for it with your paddle business!

Great Job Bob. Congratulations.

Bob, you pushed yourself, learned new skills and benefited some needy people. Good for you.

Congratulations!! – and we can’t forget the other real winner: the children in need.
On behalf of them, “thank you for the donation and taking the time to arrange the fundraiser for the paddle”.

Congratulations, Bob. I can only encourage you to continue to push the envelope with these skills. It’s obvious to me that you have great latent talent in the wood burning department as well as the skills of the paddle maker. The children were blessed this time but you will be blessed for a long time to come. Great job!

My brother was a little upset with himself. He had a business dinner or would have been bidding. I should have included a buy it now price in hindsite. I’m happy with the price but it might have gone for a bit more.

I hope we can build on this fundraiser next year. A great cause. We are all so fortunate.

Thanks for kind words Bob and congrats to great project.. and small side business? Go for it.
Same fundraiser next year? I hope so – depends on the popularity of this one – not much activity so far but I still believe ;)

Well deserved praise Martin.

I know the response to this one has been somewhat underwhelming. I think it caught people by surprise a little and some folks no doubt are giving elsewhere…I know I don’t give to every charity that asks. I’d NEED charity if I did. Maybe a longer lead time…continual reminders that we will be doing something over the holiday season next year? It would be nice to get 5-10% participating.

Great Job Bob, congrats on getting it done and sold! Thanks for setting a fine example for the rest of us.
