The fun started on Thursday
with a Burger & Tater Tots dinner (Bob's famous) followed by a exciting
Bingo Game. Bar Manager Bob Buckley did Yeoman's Duty for the entire
event working behind the Bar!
Fortunately he had lots of help from fellow members taking their turn at
bartending.
Friday was well attended with Breakfast, Lunch & many Dinners served.
The evening
went on with dancing, partying, or just hanging out and enjoying the
evening.
Paul & Winky
also enjoyed the evening. |
Our newest member, Damian Jones, with his cousin who came in
from Louisiana to make sure our Saturday Cajon Dinner was authentic.

And there is always work to do
getting ready for the next meal!
