2022 Dinner Dance

A Great time was had by all who attended our recent dinner dance. It has been a long time since we've been able to gather for such events. I encourage all members to take advantage of these opportunities in the future. Hopefully, the downturn of the pandemic will afford us opportunities to gather for picnics, parades and other activities.
