I am delighted to announce that tonight's dinner at Bruno's was a great success. With 90 guests a grand total of 530,000 Baht was raised. The food along with the company made the evening very enjoyable.
Thank You to everyone who attended

A Fabulous event that brought out some of the great supporters of the PGF in Pattaya 100.000 Baht was donated by Bruno Pingle the developer of the forthcoming "Ocean 1 Tower" 100.000 Baht from Mr. Targan the specialist up market car dealer and various other and no less significant generous donations from others.
The major players in the Gay scene were there from Jim the ever present and never tiring icon from "BBB", Glen & Peter from "Throb & Splash", Gedo from "Gianns" Restaurant, Richard from "Amore" and others whose where also visible by there presence and generous support.
Visible by there absence was anyone from Luxor, Manhattans, Mata Hari's, The Birdcage, Sunee Plaza, Day & night Plaza and Jomtiem Plaza no doubt these places were keeping there hard earned cash for there favorite charities

But I did manage to donate to Thais for Life, Baan Jing Jai, now doing SOS Rice appeal, the Bangalmung wheelchair appeal,and the swimming pool appeal in Rayong, paid by myself in the last two months.
I apologize if that wasn't enough. I never asked recognition and kept quiet, but now you are mentioning the subject!
In between, I have my Mother in Hospital on cancer checks, my sons due out at the end of the month, My cancer checks on the 27/28th of this month, Ocean blu project to complete and orgainse staff and still minor errors to correct at the Birdcage,
DO YOU WANT MY JOB!
You are welcome.

John Botting, this was a good list to be left out of and what a shock that it was posted by a newbie with so much info
and so tacky too...
humbily :cat:
Looking back on all 4 of Leeman's postings he seems to have a 'Thing' about Kevin and his projects.
What's your point Leeman?
A great response Kev and also well said by John Botting. Kevin is one of the most generous men I know.
Kevin,
Your charity contributions are truly commendable and I wish you well to continue with them in the future. ItтАЩs unfortunate that youтАЩve taken my comments in the wrong spirit, I was simply pointing out that you and others were mot in any way present or visible at one of the biggest and highest fund raising events of the Gay calendar, an event which was an ideal opportunity to show your and your business support for our Gay community here in Pattaya.
Whilst buying rice, wheelchairs and swimming pools are IтАЩm sure very important to you I think you will agree that raising money to keep dying people alive as the PGF does is the first and most important thing in life before worrying about childrenтАЩs swimming pools, I suppose we all have different priorities in life.
IтАЩm truly sorry to hear of all your familiesтАЩ woes perhaps a visit to your home in England to give them some moral support is possibly in order. Regarding the Birdcage you knew what you were buying a 3 times failed business that will take a lot of very hard work to bring into profit and also your Ocean Blue condo (no relation to Ocean 1 condo I take it) just a slight deviation of its big brothers name no doubt you thought of it first.
Now then Mr. Blotting you also have it wrong I was referring to Gay businesses and based here in Pattaya which IтАЩm sure you will correct me if IтАЩm wrong you are not?.
So you think that 2000 Baht is too much to pay for a charity dinner 500 Baht of which goes straight to the charity and generally 5 or 10 percent of all other moneys spent at the event are also donated by the venue. Regarding your Rotary club dinner at PascalтАЩs just how much of the 1000 Baht cost of the food and drink income will be donated to your charity? I doubt very much that it will be a glass of Champaign that you will get with your meal at that price I think sparkling wine is what you mean.
Dear leeman - Last year I contributed just over 63.000 Baht to the PGF. This year I will support other charities as I find your postings distasteful. The PGF, in my mind, is now associated with the likes of you and I would not wish to attend an event you might be at so I will avoid all PGF events.
I will now support some of the charities Kevin has selected.
Being gay can be such a pain in the ass
Catawampuscas and Coatimundi with names like that are you two related?
Yes itтАЩs true I had only 4 posting to date 6 after this one now that IтАЩm semi retired I intend to be active on this board and perhaps become a тАЬteacher memberтАЭ like Kevin or a тАЬgifted memberтАЭ like Jim or perhaps one day a тАЬgolden memberтАЭ like you Catawampuscas I donтАЩt have тАЬa thingтАЭ about Kevin anymore that I have a thing for any of the other businesses I mentioned and I just happened to start on this board by asking about his new (now de-funked) Gay hotel which I may have been interested in putting my friends in when they come on holiday as I have only small condo. I have also asked exactly where this alleged ocean Blu condo project is and received some sarcastic answer from Kevin about him standing on the top of the Royal Cliff waving flags well is sign posted is it is Soi 5 or in a sub Soi just where the hell is it ??
