Securing The Shots Event 2005 - Washington DC June 3rd 2005

So onto 2005....We kicked off our 5th Annual shot event on June 2nd, 2005 at the Herndon HRC, a.ka. Floyd's house! Floyd and his wife Janice were wonderful hosts and a great time was had by all! Lot's of alcohol was consumed (and I didn't even fall off the bar stool this year!) and Janice overdid herself with making some wonderful food. Who would have thought tequila and pineapple together! The contest for my new 2005 shot king had started and being that they all drank so much to try and outdo each other, I decided we would have 3 shot kings this year; Floyd, Marco and Mike - We 3 Kings as they say! Yet again, Denise & I had a special "Pre-Party" event shot made and everyone loved it! Special thanks to Denise for always designing a great shot and putting up with the headaches from the glass companies! The next day, June 3rd, took us to Washington DC for an evening event. We had 1/2 the upstairs reserved for us and had a great turnout. Pin collectors and shot collectors hanging out and having a good time. Saturday morning, June 4th we headed to Baltimore for a day event that included a charity raffle & auction to benefit the Habitat for Humanity. We had a huge outdoor section for our group and had an excellent turnout as well as great service! The raffle/auction was a HUGE success, we raised $1693.00 for the Chesapeake Habitat for Humanity! Marco Reyna took home the "Pre-Party" Prototype shot for $350 and Brian Gledhill took home the Joint Prototype shot for $350 as well (Thanks Steve M. for donating it!). Special thanks to Dave Hafner for taking on the job of getting it all together (& for your special "I stayed" shot glass!) and thanks for all those that donated items as well as bought raffle tickets to help support the cause. An extra special thanks to the Baltimore GM, Davey. He was awesome and was there with us from beginning to end, helping out, giving away prizes and raffle items....I must say he was the best & got my vote for best HRC GM! Some friends and myself headed out of Baltimore after the event to continue our road trip to Atlantic City and then Philadelphia, AC was awesome, the beach, the boardwalk...oh my! 4 Cafe's visited this trip!
