And welcome to February 2019. Because I m writing this on January 14 (goes to the publisher on the 15 of the month), I can t share the results of the January 19 Euchre Tournament at this time; however, I absolutely want to thank Amy Teske, Kelly Knapp, and April Cunningham for their hard work and unending enthusiasm in putting this fun event together. There will be a wrap-up report at the February 5 Auxiliary meeting. WOW! What a great Fish Fry attendance we ve been having! Congrats to the teams both lunch and dinner! Great volunteer involvement! And kudos to our cake bakers! Nearly $90 was made at the January 11 Fish Fry. We re looking forward to another great Fish Fry on January 25. February brings two more Fish Fry dates: February 8 and February 22. Another 10 cakes will be needed for each date. Please, please, please offer to bake a cake at our February 5 meeting. Remember to attach a note with the flavor of the cake; especially noting whether there are nuts in the recipe. I want to wish all of our Snow Birds a warm, safe winter. Enjoy your winter get-away and we look forward to seeing you in the spring! Next Auxiliary meeting: Tuesday, February 5. See you at the club. Pam Boomer (Don), President
