Happy Dollars: Denise appreciated all of the help that Barbara and Gail provided setting up the tables for the Farm to Table. She also was pleased that her husband and son helped with serving and manning the bar. Everybody's participation and attendance at the event made it a huge success. Mike Hanifan was kind enough to donate his winnings of the 50/50 back to the club. Charles did a fabulous job shaking people down for the booze basket. The basket alone raised $1020.00. In total the event netted $7342.50 for the Homeless Project.
Kathie Shankman recognized Denise's efforts. Barbara dittoed Kathie.
Steve recognized Barbara's on the spot ability to lead us in prayer. He realizes that if he were suddenly asked to lead us in prayer that he would be tongue tied.
