August 1, 2024 BBQ Meeting

August is usually one of our most attended lunch meetings.  Our numbers were down but we can only suspect that our members were out of town getting that last visit in to see the grandkids or other family members. Our attendance was 73 members 

All that we can say is you missed a fun time. A great big “THANK YOU” goes to the LL 1487 Executive Board for standing out in the heat grilling hotdogs, burgers, and brats. They were delicious. Also, we need to extend a big “THANK YOU” to the LL 1487 Women’s Committee who chopped, sliced and diced all our fixings. Making sure we had enough onions, tomatoes, relish, sport peppers, and anything else to put on our brats, hamburgers, and hot dogs (but no ketchup). 

We had a lot of fun with the White Elephant sale. The sale of everyone’s treasures brought in $55.50. That money will be deposited into the club’s coffers. This is the only sale where the proceeds go to the club. The bucket toss game was quite exciting.  Debbie Monfeli was the big winner, I believe she hit all the buckets.  I think she has been practicing since last year.  Any residual money from the game was added to the food bank cash donation.
