Opening Night For The New Galley!
A wonderful evening of food, fun, and friends again. Hats off to all who made it happen!
Friday Night Dinner
Well, we were finally able to reopen the club. Friday was the first
dinner served out of our new kitchen. It was an amazing experience
working with all the volunteers that helped put the dinner together.
Quite a learning experience. If you see any of the members involved,
make sure to thank them. Here’s a list in no special order: Sandy
Kenyon, Olga Hambrick, Jeannie Bekind, Geoff Lambert, and Amy
Hendricksen. Special thanks to Chris Mendonca and Ken Leslie for
stepping in to wash dishes. Look for menus in the Binnacle coming
up. Also, the kitchen remodel would never have happened without
all the efforts of Jeff Ruszler, Matt Mack, Dean Hambrick and Hugo
Kneff.
Thanks to all
