Mailing We've mailed out the 2010 Calendar of Events. Please note two date changes already. Horseshoe Banquet is 3/20/10 and the meat shoot is 3/7/10. Adult & Children's Christmas Party Both parties were a fun time for all. The adult party hosted approximately 63 people, which included Prime Rib that just melted in your mouth; along with a Chicken Saltimbocca, Italian Potato's, green beans and salad. The dessert table was to die for, thanks to donations by members or their spouses. All this for just $10.00 a person! You really can't beat that price. This year we had Carl Adams DJ'ing and he had everyone dancing. Then he started up the Karaoke machine. Who knew we have so many talented folks amongst us! Some who most definitely should be on American Idol. We had 38 children attend the kid's party. Santa was definitely a jolly ol' soul as he handed out the presents. It was fun watching the expressions on the kid's faces. The kids also were able to work on some crafts or coloring projects as they awaited Santa's arrival. Pizza was served and then all enjoyed making their own sundaes! Thank you to all that participated in set up, clean up, shopping, wrapping, decorating and everything else that goes into getting ready for these two parties. We can't do it without you!! Dues are due Dues were due by 12/31/09, anyone who has yet to pay their dues the fee is now $90.00.
