Hello Everyone! Sheila and I would like to take this opportunity to personally THANK each and every one of the 117 pin traders that attended our "little" event this weekend!!!!
We consider all of you part of our "pin family" and are honored to call you friends. It is because of all of you that the CJDPT will be celebrating its 5 year anniversary in 2008 and we look forward to seeing you all again April 11-13 2008 for "Trade til You Fade-'08!!
We promise to continue to do our best to give you the kind of pin meets you have come to expect from the CJDPT!!
We encourage any of you out there who have never attended one of our events to consider it for next year, as you can see in the other post here people truly had a "magical" time. It is always magical for Sheila and I, Thank You All...
With traders from as far away as California, Florida, Ohio, Canada and everywhere in between these meets take on an energy all there own.
And finally a BIG THANK YOU to Janis and David Lavender. You are great and we would not want to continue this ride without you both!!! As well as everyone who donated prizes, all who brought food and drink. You are the heart and soul of the CJDPT and we are HONORED to call you FRIENDS!!!
Kathie and Frank we hope the trip was worth it and this won't be a "one time" event.....
Always Your Friends,
John and Sheila Rick- Founders Central Jersey Disney Pin Traders
