So tonight was our Welcome Back Snowbirds Pot Luck Dinner. Jan and Bill Sweet took on the massive job of organizing this dinner. Zak Wonson and Victor Stango helped set up the tables and chairs. Unfortunately Arlene was sick so Jan took charge of cooking the turkey and ham as well.
Stan Williamson welcomed everyone and Tom Grubb lead us in a prayer. We had 38 people come for the fun and $31.50 was the prize for the 50/50. The food, deserts and company were great. We finished up around 6:30, just in time for our Tuesday night regular shuffle.
