$ 8721 Net Income Edie and I will donate $279 to make a nice round $9000 donation to charity.
The first $500 goes to Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Their dedicated volunteers humping beer into the hall impressed all the brewers, as usual. $528 goes to Vietnam Veterans of America #324 for my haircut and running the cash raffle. $100 will be sent to the Extremely Reverend Dan Moeller to be donated to his favorite charity. Leaving $7872 which will be divided evenly with $3936 going to My Lai projects to be distributed as they see fit, and $3936 to the Library of Vietnam Project
Next year I hope to increase presale tickets, and the homebrew contest will be started earlier. I expect this and other efforts will increase attendance. I am looking forward to a bigger, more successful, and hopefully more profitable festival next year.
Mark your calendar - March 11, 2007.
Sincerely,
John Zutz
