Letter from President, Olive Gross
We started our season with a very
successful Pie Social. The entertainment was wonderful and
the bidding was hot and heavy! Our profit was over $600.
A speical thaks to Jim & Nancy Schneider Tammy Price, Matt
Foelker, Chriss Farrell and Don & Tina Gross for all their help.
Also a big THANK YOU to all who donated, and bought those
delicious pies.
Next we held an open house during Hebron HEritage Day
in June. We furnished cash prizes and ribbons for the Kids
Parade and had aboauta 20 visitors that day. Donations
came in at around $12. Thank you, Tammy Price for your
help that day.
In July we sponsored a booth in cooperation with the Fort
Atkinson Area Chamber of Commerce Retail Division for CArnival
Days. They furnished the popcorn wagon and supplies and we
made the profit! We also sold Cheesecake on a Stick.
Our take for the day was over $80. When we sell the rest
of the cheesecake< we will have made a net profit of over $^)>
thank you to Jim Schneider and Judy Reau for assisting at the
booth.
The Board of Directors cancelled the Country Fair planned in August
due to a lack of volunteers.
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEED FOR HARVEST DAY! PLEASE CALL 920
563-4773 OR 262 593 2489 to offer assistance. |
