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

As the years go passing by.
