I would to say thank you to everyone who attended the class, and the several of you who donated more than the $30 class fee. It looks like that we met and exceeded our $1,000 goal, thanks in no small part to Michael Martin and his generous contribution of the books. I do have a few left, which I will post in the marketplace, with the sales of those books going to the charity as well.
I do have to apologize for the overall experience at Bill's. It was obviously out of our hands, but as a result, the class wasn't nearly as smooth as it normally is. Thanks to everyone who stuck around while we waited on them. I am going to contact the owner tomorrow to express our concerns and see what can be corrected in the future.
I would also like to thank the several people who offered to lend a hand for the class.
Finally, I would like to give a mention to mrokern, who was also present as an instructor at the class. When I first announced the charity class, Mark was the first person to immediately offer his time and services for the class. Since then, Mark and I have talked extensively and he has agreed to come on board as a Blue Line Defense instructor. We're happy to have Mark on our team. He brings a lot of knowledge and experience, and will be a great asset for us.
Thanks again to everyone that attended!
