Dinner Wrap-Up: It was a busy time at the American Legion on Thursday evening as the club held the second dinner to raise funds for Ukraine. This time the profits will be sent to World Central Kitchen. Andy Rochester organized the on-line sales while Jan Harvey handled the cash sales. Rick Davis hawked the raffle sales. Wendy Winnett and Ernie Danforth delivered the carside pick up meals. Buddy Cutler, Stu Sammis, Dr. Bob Cole, with his better half, Jo Ann, Paul Tick, and John Brown held down the fort in the kitchen. Other Rotarians who performed all sorts of tasks from serving to clean-up were Stacy Ward, Cathy Buck, Yumiko Akiba and friends, Ray Defendorf, Dave Anderson, Bill Boland, Laura Matson, and Jeff Ugoretz (with his daughters!). There was a good crowd of diners and a steady line of cars for pick up. Perogies and kielbasa made up the menu expertly cooked by Buddy and Dr. Bob, among others. |
