And Finally…

None of this would be possible without Nick Ciglar. He takes on the thankless roll of asking sponsors, printing and distributing tickets, and every year is one of best salesmen! However, Nick did inform us that although he was third best, and he wanted to make sure the the top two salesmen this year also received their due recognition. So congratulations to Josip Novosel and Slobodan Čulina who had 680 tickets sold between the two of them, needless to say, and astounding feat! Thank you very much for all of your efforts — our community is lucky to have individuals such as yourselves!
