The third Annual STRIKE A CURE was a great SUCCESS THANKS to all of you that could participate, all of you that donated and because of all our prize donors! The event was bigger this year than last and featured a touching tribute to those survivors that came forward and were recognized for beating cancer and were given a certificate and Rose. There were over 30 gifts donated and given away and a good time had by all. I Thank all of you that participated in any way and look forward to doing it all again next year!!!
I also thank the woman's committee for their work on our Halloween party that took place Friday as well...
Thanks also to those who made it to the General Membership Meeting on Sunday...
