A big thank you to all who attended and made last night a very successful fundraiser.  The WFD would also like to thank the Wyckoff YMCA for allowing us to have this event, as well as all the sponsors and donors who helped make the evening possible. Congratulations to the three winners of our Mega 50/50 drawing, and also to all those who won prizes from our tricky tray table. Chief Tim Brock, Asst.
