Annual Awards Banquet

First and foremost, we'll participate in an all-important food drive hosted by our venue for this special night, First United Methodist Church. Their feeding programs for the unhoused and children with food insecurities have ongoing needs for the following items:

1- Vienna sausages (not the spicy variety)

2- Snack Pack chocolate or vanilla pudding cups

3- Chef Boyardee pop-top cups with the peel-back lids

4- Applesauce cups with peel back lid

These are items that the unhoused and children can prepare for themselves with or without extra water, milk or even a microwave. It is so sad to consider that, but it is necessary. Please plan on bringing one or many of these items with you when you come.

Members and nonmembers alike are both welcome to attend!
