A big thank you to Jane, Jeff, Brad and Chizuru for your help in putting on a terrific Meet 'n Deet -- and special thanks to Paul Gerald for making a celebrity appearance AND donating $5 from each of his book sales tonight to TKO and Portland Hikers! And as always, thanks to everyone who stopped by and who have supported TKO and the forum this year -- very much appreciated!

Some photos from the event -- great to see everyone (70+ folks in all!)...















































Have a happy holiday season, everyone!

Does anyone know who produced the amazing metal Portland Hikers art pieces that were donated yesterday? I'd love to talk to them about purchasing one!

For those of you unfortunate ones who missed it, nobody told you that the raffle would be giving away 25 new GPS units!

Really though, I did win a Sawyer Mini filter for having the first correct answer to one of the trivia questions. And the place was packed. I've seen previous years where our room was emptying out soon after 8pm. This time there was still a lot of people there at 9:30 when I left.

Great to see how this has grown over the years, great to those of you I haven't seen in sometime. Everyone keep up the good work and I'm sure we'll continue to get bigger and better.

Best,

Jamie

Great to see so many old PH friends, but I also met several new members of the forum - great to put some faces to the new screen names!
