Harvest Dinner Workers!
All of these photos were taken on Saturday, September 24th.
Here we all are working hard. Well, some were taken during lunch, but the others show us working really hard on cleaning turkeys for the Harvest Dinner, which is Monday, September 26th. We're serving from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm or til the food runs out. Price is $8 and includes everthing from your turkey and trimmings to pie and beverage.
It's a great fund raiser for Martha Washington Chapter. Come out and support the Chapter and enjoy a turkey dinner!

Friendship is a priceless gift
that can’t be bought or sold,
And to have an understanding friend
is worth far more than gold…
And the golden chain of friendship
is a strong and blessed tie
Binding kindred hearts together

What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad
