Good of the Order

New thoughts: As people know we are going to purchase new Chairs for the dinning area. This is expensive and will take time. Consider donating the cost of a chair or a table of Chairs. The approximate cost per chair is going to be $42 depending on how many we buy and a sale price.

Help: We need folks to volunteer for cooking meals on a couple of days in June and a few in July. Please consider it. If you would like to do it, please see Dave Tofte.

News Flash: The June Cook Off (appetizers/hordouvers/Finger Food) was won, hands down, by Loyce Edwards! She won the Blue Ribbon & bragging rights. Her "Buffalo Chips" (the squares) were outstanding. A special thanks, and congratulations to Loyce for winning her first cook off! Wendy and I want to thank everyone for their entries, help and support. The next cook off July 21st will be anything in a Crock Pot (that is a lot of latitude), bring your favorite crock pot dish and share it with the membership and enjoy the camaraderie. See Wendy or Janet for details.

ATTENTION: All you would be Cooks, Helpers, Servers, Bottle Washers, etc. We need you to come to our Food Handlers Class on Saturday July 26th. This class is State/County mandated or we could lose our license to provide food. The Class will begin at 9am and will be done by 10:30. Please, you MUST attend the class in order to help in the food operation and we need your help! In addition it can be interesting. Thank You, we look forward to seeing you here. Christine Edwards, VFW Post 3787 Kitchen Manager

It is that time of the year again when you can go through the house and find all those gifts you got that you know you won't use but could "regift". Yep, it's Christmas in July time again. So mark your calendars for Friday, July 25th to come on down and have a great time. We will start serving at 5

Donations of gifts fit for adult or child are welcome. Please get your donation to Linda Prince or for now, pile them on the stage area with a note on it that this is for Linda and the Christmas in July program.

Here are some of the things we need: gifts of all kinds and bags of small candy to go in the stockings, Volunteers. We will need help wrapping gifts, stuffing stockings, setting up the trees and decorations and I am sure a myriad other things. Please contact Linda Prince if you can assist in any of these areas.

As always, proceeds from this traditional Christmas turkey dinner go to the Cancer program.
