Success at 2008 Relay For Life!
We are pleased to announce that we were able to donote about $1500 to Meeker Relay for Life!
We served food all day at the event on Friday, June20th. Turkey burgers, Bratwurst and hot dogs all of them wih all the fixin's were prepared and sold by members of Golden Fleece Lodge. The weather was good for the most part. A short-lived, but intense squall came through and destroyed W.B. Curry's canopy and the Les Kouba print he donated for raffling.
Thanks to the following poeple for their donations:
Greg Langmo - Over 300 turkey burgers
Bruce Cottington - Cheese
Rick Johnson - Misc. Groceries
All of the Turker burgers sold out - about 325 or so. We sold every hot dog we had (100) so Jim Curry procurred another 125 and all of those sold out! We went through 275 brats as well.
Congratulations Team!
