I was and I am sure a lot of people were happy to clean out their closet and get rid of any unused things to someone who could use them. Great job to everyone who participated.

We all came together and worked well to accomplish a common goal. To help an organization that is certainly worthy of me getting up out of bed on a Saturday morning at 5:00 am to get here in time. Once again thank you all who participated and think about coming out on 09/29/2007 to support the Kisses For Kyle organization!! Candy,

I felt proud to be a part of a team that such dedication and determination. Everyone arrived bright and early on Saturday morning, when most people would still be sleeping. Eveyone pitched in and did their part to help set up, flag down by-passers, and then disamble everything at the end of a long day. It was very nice to see everyone dedicating their day to support the Kisses for Kyle Foundation. I was glad to be a part of it. I think the yard sale showed such a team effort for such a great cause.

I would like to single a couple people out that worked at the Yard Sale because they truly gave everything they had in them that day. Phil Koval, grilled his pants off to raise money for Kisses for Kyle. His section of the Yard Sale was even named "Phil's Grill." He not only cooked the Hamburgers and Hotdogs but he made grilled Pizza. Phil cooked and oversaw the whole Bake Sale which probably brought in the most money. The only time that entire day that I saw Phil take a break was when Helen ordered him to sit down and rest. After about 20 minutes and a few burned hamburgers later he was chasing me out of there so that he could take over. Three wonderful young men that deserve acknowledgement are Tyler, Cameron and Ryan Kazokas. They are the grandson's of Helen and Phil Koval. These boys not only helped out on the day of the yardsale but they came to our pre-yard sale pricing night. They were willing to help out wherever needed from helping at the table to selling baked goods to loading and moving tables to even walking up and down the side of the highway to bring attention to the yardsale. They were probably the most polite teenagers that you will ever meet. Helen who of course handled so many of the details because I could just not seem to get around to doing them. Without Helen and Pam we probably would not have gotten as far as we did with being organized. There are so many other people that need to be thanked so please take this as my most humblest thanks. This organization found a special place not only in my heart but also in the hearts of many of our employees. Thank you everyone for everything that you had done to help with the success of these two days. I will be making the trek to the Kisses for Kyle Wine Fest at the end of September. Should you have that weekend free consider coming down as well. I am sure it is going to be an awesome time. Helen, I couldn’t agree more with your comment.

It was a huge success because of everyone who volunteered his or her time and money to a great cause. If it wasn't for everyone coming together and helping out it would not have been the success it was. We raised a total of $2,800, money that is going directly to the Kisses for Kyle Foundation. All leftover food and donations were given to Visions, The Salvation Army and The McCauley House. I would also like to thank John and Tina for allowing us to participate and recognize this important foundation. Thank you, Helen Koval Dear Volunteers and Donators,
