Dear Friends, Family and Fans,

We want to thank all of you who attended the 4th ANNUAL MATTESON ALLSTARS REUNION BENEFIT FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS. Once again it was a success thanks to you, with about 200 in attendance.  Thanks to our son and cousins Jennifer and David for making it a special family event.  We were able to contribute over $3,200 for the cause.  We are grateful for our family and friends that donated "over and above" in the form of money donations and great raffle prizes.

Thanks to JENNIFER KNUTH for her great performance, and PROCESS members Adam, Brad, Brian, and Nick for their awesome musical donation.  Special thanks to the fabulous horn section Sonny, Mike, Bud, Wally, and Tom.  We thank Greg Rzab for his star musical contribution.  THANKS to members of the MATTESON ALLSTARS, Danny, Terry, Mick, Ken, Glen, Ron, and Art Butler who made it a "Special 30 year Reunion"!  We appreciate all of your donated time and talents that made this night extraordinary.  We are so happy that you have embraced our cause!  We would also like to acknowledge our support volunteers, Susie, Tracie, Lisa, Bill, Celeste, Kris, Eric, Mackenzie, Jack, Marissa, Connie, and Hannah.  Thanks to Nick, Tim, and Kevin for your talents.  Again we could not have done it without your help!

Hopefully we will be able to do it again next year. (Check out the website again as we hope to have some pictures posted soon) and don't forget to add your comments!

Have a great 2010!!

Barry and Karen Sperti
