Oh that was great fun!!!

Too, too funny Dave's name was picked first & then when Trish's name was pulled I cracked up!

The kids did a fantastic job.

Congratulations to all the winners! And ummmm, let's see, that would be ALL of US! ATP ROCKS and we are all winners!

Happy Anniversary ATP!

I have to disagree though. Trish, you said another 4 years. I say 40 years more.

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown

This was a fun video! I got so involved watching the 'Dave & Trish family' that I forgot to wish for acorns!

(Does this family even own a pair of shoes? They are always barefoot.

We don't wear shoes in the non-tiled areas of the house but some of us won't step out the door without them on.

I meant to send out a notification immediately after the video was posted but I made a mistake. I corrected the mistake today and that's why you finally got it.

What a great way to wind up the Four Year Anniversary Celebration. As usual the video was my favorite part! Huge thanks and congratulations to acorn donors, the winners, all members for their participation and those wonderful children for drawing the winners. And thanks to Dave and Trish for their 'seemingly tireless' leadership and endless generosity. Now we can look forward to another year of continued growth and success! Warm wishes and congratulations everyone!

I don't usually watch videos (we have a limit on the data we use), but just had to watch this one. Totally charming! And congratulations to all the lucky winners!
