Annual June potluck...come hungry and enjoy yourself!
Society to provide meats and drinks.
Members are asked to bring a salad, covered dish and/or a dessert.
(Bring the kids and/or grandkids, too. It's a family oriented meeting.)
For the eighth year in a row, Society members
cooked burgers and dogs for attendees at the 2018 June Potluck.
Cooking this year were member Dave Rave and former Society president
Gene Teakell (l-to-r). The family-oriented potluck is a tradition for
the final meeting of "our year," which runs from September through
June. In 2011, we expanded that tradition (at Gene's urging) to
include burgers and dogs grilled on the patio just outside of our
meeting hall ... and we've continued that tradition ever since.
Thank you gentlemen! (Photo by Duncan)
