Our barbeques are successful. They run from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Thanks to Roy, Barry and all of our volunteers. If you want to help out by volunteering, call Roy Haggart. Hopefully we can soon restart our sports, darts, pool, and cribbage.

From the kitchen
Helen Bailey, Secretary
We now have a fully functional commercial grade kitchen downstairs at the Branch. We are looking forward to getting it up and running once the Branch is back to regular hours. Right now, our summer barbeques are doing very well. If you have not been yet, come on out and enjoy some entertainment, great food, and lots of fun.
See you at the Branch.
