You made a big job small because of your help, it’s very much appreciated! 31 wonderful people attended the BBQ. What a beautiful day! We made a little money for our coffers… $104.00 from food donations, $27.00 on 50/50 tickets, $27.00 donation (Todd donated his 50/50 winnings).
To the village of people that donate their time and money to keep the club going. You can’t imagine how much time they give.
