What a blast! The Casino/DJ really stepped it up this year and everyone had a blast. We are gathering final totals but on preliminary accounting it looks like this second year fundraiser grossed nearly $15,000 and will net a huge amount for the Chapter to continue to support education, swim lessons and Chapter activities. We are so thankful for all our generous sponsors. Title Sponsors: AquaCal,  HornerXpress, Lo-Chlor; Bar Sponsor: East Coast Pools & Spas; DJ Sponsor: Cypress Creek Outdoors; Food Sponsor: Hayward; Craps Table Sponsor: Waterside Electrical Technologies; Roulette Table Sponsor: CM Custom Pools; Blackjack Table Sponsor: Fluidra; Blackjack Table Sponsors: Insurance By Ken Brown,  Gorman Company, and SCP; and Roulette Table Sponsor: Red Rhino.

This event was a success due to the time, talent and contagious energy of our dear Past President Larry Drumb, Pool Renovations by Larry. And a huge thank you to his wife, Emily Drumb, for her support and for always helping to make the event better. Thank you also to Holly Waldhauer, Mermaid Lagoons, for helping and to everyone who donated items, attended, purchased auction items and who made our last fundraiser of 2022 a success!
