What a night it was !!!!  Great job done by the SFPP committee with all the planning that went into the 2018 SFPP.  Peter and Alan K were 'spot on' with everything !!!
A Community event like this could not be done without the help of the whole club and once again the 'whole' club pitched in.
 
Set up - no rain.....perfect timing - thank you weather man...
Alan, Bill, Dave, Mike, Brian, Joanna, Peter, Patty & Don Cleone & Dan G & Al S who picked up all the goodies from our lock-up, were all on the 'set-up'
 
It was so great to see Trudy out and taking charge of the raffle prizes & bring her friends Lorene and Bill to help out.  They come to help at RibFest as well..
President Mike, Terry & Heather also worked that table that looked very hectic at times.
 
The guests had a wonderful time....hugging Claire was a highlight for lots of them for sure.  Jeannie was carrying the 'bucket' of tickets while Peter & Claire were busy collecting money for hugs.
Cleone's idea of 'People's Choice Award' was great and YELLOW DOG was thrilled to win. Cleone & Lisa wandered around talking to everyone about Rotary, RibFest & Shred-a-Thon....great exposure for what Rotary does.
Gayle, Naomi, Linda Boileau, Jeannie and myself at the door did a great job.  So nice to have the City there for the 'will call' tickets too.  Had so many people say 'we are a well oiled machine'.
Handling the cash was Michael and Paul & David and they were very busy..... 50/50 was a record this year.  The simulator prize was donated by Isy and the winner was thrilled.
Ryan was at his first SFPP and looked like he was having fun.
 
Danne was selling tickets for the 'lotto board' and again a record amount
Dan Gallant, after being on the truck 'all day' came out to help pick up the ice with Dave, then worked helping our Re-Cycle King Bill.  Brian was also picking up food and trash to be re-cycled.  Bill - The GREEN MACHINE - just HAD to re-cycle.  
The City will be very happy Bill....
 
Clean up crew worked hard - Ann, Heather, Joanna, Trudy, Alan K, Alan S, Al S, Bill, Brian, David, Mike & Ryan.....at the end of the night it is always hard to 'clean -up'.  
Chapter 11 and what a great job they did.  I had many people say how good they were.
AND
President MIKE, you did a great job as our MC.....You always make it so much fun for the guests.  Great job.
I hope I did not miss anyone.....Rotary Club of Port Moody you should be VERY PROUD !!!
