Betty & Jeff are off to Texas to visit family there but Betty wanted me to repeat a BIG THANK YOU for those who worked and were not there the day that she made her lengthy thank you delivery!  She adds a special thank you to Sharon Crump for keeping up with the ticket sales.  There were a total of 31 members who volunteered for over 225 hours of service!  We had 215 at the dance and sold all of our available tickets plus an additional 27 at the door.  There will be a full financial report when Betty returns and all the bills are received.
