LAKE GEORGE BOOSTERS CLUB OCTOBER 2008 NEWSLETTER
The Fall Party, hosted by Kim & Judy Hamilton, was a big success. Thanks to Kim & Judy and their crew, Ron & Linda Langston, Bob & LuAnn Barklay, Jeff Bringedahl and everyone else who pitched in. Also thanks to Sandy Mann and her crew from the kitchen for the good food, plus all the good cooks who provided dishes for the potluck. I couldn’t stay for the party but I heard there was a LOT of good food and there sure was a lot of noise, which sounded like a good time! It’s good to hear the laughter and watch all the visiting!
The Raffle raised approximately $2250.00 for the Club. Thanks to all the people who donated. The First Prize winner was Jack Hopkins, who picked the black powder rifle, donated by the Lake George Boosters Club. The Second Prize winner was James Lloyd, from Montana, who picked the deer blind. The Third Prize winner was Floyd Robinson, who got the gas grill. Marlene Housler won the 50/50 drawing...way to go, girl!! Don’t spend it all on Alan!
