PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:

 

 

In this time of need we’re always looking for new money making adventures. If anyone has an idea please see a board member.

 

I’m STILL looking for volunteers to help with this year’s William Whetstone Memorial Softball Tournament. It’s not very often we have 1000+ visitors come to our facility. We really need to take advantage of this crowd. Please see me if you are interested.

 

Our largest fund raiser of the year, Germanfest, is right around the corner. If you haven’t signed up to work yet please do so. The sign up sheets are posted at the club.

 

Please, now is the time to MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

 

 

See you at the club

 Jim Markland

 

Any member that has a special skill in building, plumbing, electrical and would like to volunteer to help rebuild, please call one of the board members!! There numbers are on the front page of the Newsletter

You must come to the club to vote or call Joy Bodine 338-1965, Membership Chairperson to request a ballot in the mail.

GARAGE SALE

 

Thank you for the success of the “garage sale” - to all of you that donated such “neat stuff” – to all the workers that were there from Sunday thru Saturday – setting up, selling and tearing down. This couldn’t have happened without all of you! If you haven’t heard, we made $5,147.68. Way to go Turner Members.

 

After the sale, the “left over stuff” went to St Vincent de Paul, Charis House, Catholic Charities and the Salvation Army. We helped many people in our town. Again Thank You!!
