$70,000

Connections debuted our new show last night, the SuperHits of the 70s.

It was a fantastic night. We had over 350 persons in attendance and, as they say, a good time was had by all.

Even with all the planning and forethought that goes into a show like this, we never really know how it’ll turn out until we’re in front of an audience. It was so great to be in front of our “host church” and to have them be so appreciative.

This show was more of a group effort than ever. There were more band members finding music, and writing charts. More singers singing lead. Quite a few women singing lead.

And, best of all, we can now announce that we’ve officially gone over the $70,000 mark in funds raised all time.

Check out the most current graph:

If you missed this show, take heart. We’ll be going this one a lot in the first half of 2010. And if that’s too long to wait, then we can help you with that too.

We’re doing it again on October 24th. Details here.

Thanks again, everybody.
