We thank those who made donations who were unable to attend; we thank those of you who have worked with us to make the evening possible; we especially thank those who donated prizes for the Auction; we thank the Just For You Dance Troupe, Music 2 You and the New Orleans Jazz Band, and above all we thank you for having big hearts and even bigger pockets to show that the Algarve really can make a difference to the lives of those affected by the tsunami.
