L leleliz Tiki Socialite NorCal Joined: Sep 02, 2008 Posts: 1982	L leleliz Posted posted on Fri, May 14, 2010 7:20 AM Forbidden Island was fantastic last night--then again when is it not--and the event was a success for sure. The Marie cocktail was delish-tart and sweet at the same time....the bands were fantastic....the raffle was great (yay for me I won the Oasis 07 mug THANKS Otto!) and everyone was in a great mood coming together for a great cause. Thanks to the organizers--Mike and the staff at Forbidden Island were gracious and fun hosts for the event--and I think quite a bit of money was raised by looking at the prices on some of the silent auction items. Even though many people may have only met Marie a few times or in some cases not at all it was great to see so many people turn out on somewhat short notice to show their support last night. I hope whatever the event raised helps alleviate some of the financial burdens of the situation. Much love to JP and Marie from the Ohana up North! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
