MESSAGES FROM THE ASSOCIATION - Our Association sponsored dinners that are in March (St. Patrick’s Day), July (4th July) and October (Halloween) will be asking for a $2 reservation when you sign up. This will really help us to know how many are coming and also helps towards the cost of food, which we know keeps going up. The cost for guests will stay the same, $5 per person. You will be able to make reservations with any of us and we will also have someone in the card room or at Bingo on designated dates and times.
