Dear Friends,
They say it takes a whole village to raise a child. After the day of activities we planned for our anniversary celebration at Colvill Park on August 24th, I can honestly say that it took nearly our whole membership to carry out all the events! There are so many people to thank.
Thank you to the Board members who helped: Marcy Underwood, Don Olson, Bill Naseth, Ron Ward, Paul Christenson, Jack Nordgaard, Jane Falls, Ron Ward, and Eileen Welsch. Thank you to Jim Klevan for helping us set up all the tables and chairs in the morning. Thank you to Char
Henn and Terry Yockey for the special presentations you gave. Your time and expertise was appreciated.
Thank you to the euchre players that helped us figure out how to run a tournament and then came to play. (If you were my partner and I caused us to get set, I am so sorry!) We hope to hold a euchre tournament again next year.
Thank you to Penny Curtis for calling to get pies and lining up the help we needed at the Pie Social. Thank you to all the people who donated pies and to everyone who helped at the pie social – cutting pies, scooping ice cream, and serving our guests. and shooing flies! Thank you to Christine Aquino for helping to take care of business at the Senior Center in the morning and then sticking with us till the end. Thank you to Bobbie Jacobson for filling in wherever needed. Thank you to the Boat House Band for providing the good music and good time.
Thank you to everyone who donated golf balls for our Golf Ball Drop raffle. We are well supplied for years to come! Thank you to those who helped sell raffle tickets and to everyone who bought a ticket. Proceeds from the
