I just dropped off the last of the raffle prizes for the winners to pick up this week at Corkscrew Pointe. It was nice to see reactions of people who had won something; it was almost like they were getting unexpected presents.

(Except for the men who won brassiere purses. The gentleman who seemed a little (read: a lot) intoxicated at the wine-tasting said he was sure his wife would enjoy the purse. Another guy thanked me for not announcing his winnings on his Facebook wall where all his cool, manly friends from the South Side could see.)

But, I would be remiss if I didn't mention all those who donated to the raffle. They are:
