BELOW.... MY ROVING CAMERA PHOTOS AT THE EVENT LAST NIGHT ....

MARY ANN MICHEL AND HER WORKERS DID AN EXCELLENT JOB FEEDING
AROUND 130 PEOPLE.  
THE JACKSON COUNTY CATTLEMEN DID THE STEAKS ON AN OUTSIDE GRILL.
THANKS TO THE MANY MERCHANTS THAT DONATED SOMETHING FOR THE
SILENT AUCTION.
IT WAS A FUN NIGHT.
THE ROTARY MADE SOME MONEY FOR THE TREASURY TO SUPPORT LOCAL
PROJECTS.
AND....THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED AND MADE IT A SUCCESS.
WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE A BIGGER AND BETTER REVERSE RAFFLE
DINNER NEXT YEAR.
JOHN GILROY, SCOTT WARREN(ROTARY PRESIDENT) AND I ENJOYED
RUNNING THE RAFFLE.
