For those who missed the Easter Picnic and Egg Hunt you missed a good time. George, Vince, Frank and crew did an outstanding job on grilling the steaks. Everyone enjoyed the cookout and festivities.
We still need volunteers to help with Bingo on Tuesday and Thursday nights. If you can spare some time between 6 and 7 PM it would be greatly appreciated
