With the Winter season upon us and the snowbirds travel south to warmer climates, the Fish Fry needs new volunteers to take their places. Please consider volunteering to help out the lunch or dinner shift. You can pick the date and the shift (lunh or dinner) that s convenient for you. You ll make some new friends and help support this important Club fundraiser. There is a sign-up sheet on the bullentin board by the restroom on the Club side, or call one of this year s Co-Charimen: Mike Anderson , Mike Sanchez or Joe Host The next Fish Fry is January 11, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.
