Bow-ties vs the World - The Aftermath

Club president Roy Marko had the pleasure of personally delivering this year's proceeds from the Bow-Ties vs the World Charity Show & Shine to representatives of the Kids with Cancer Society.



Once again, a gigantic thank you to every single person who participated, contributed, showcased, volunteered, and pretty much had anything to do with the event in question. See you again next year.
