Backpack Community Dinner
Andy Kulp
On behalf of myself, Dawn Blackman-Mahon and the Backpack program we would like to thank first of all, everybody that helped us at the dinner, including the Show Stopper 4H group… And of course, we would like to thank everybody that came out to have dinner with us and support the Backpack program…. And also those who donated turkeys or hams or desserts or any other thing that was donated. We certainly do appreciate it…. Although we didn’t have the turnout that we were expecting, we were able to sell off some of the leftovers and also donated some to families who could use them, so they didn’t go to waste.
Thanks again and hopefully next year will work out better.
PS: I almost forgot…thanks to Santa and the Mrs. for stoppng in
