We have found a new location. The Village Grille will supply food and there will be a cash bar. They will be helping with the table locations, chairs and cleanup! If you haven’t attended before, now is the time; it is our big social event of the year. The cost will be $10 per person which should be sent to Linda by November 3rd.
