2009-2010 NYO SEASON:
Thanks to all our supporters for helping to make our 2010 season a great one. A special thanks to those folks who made donations, and to the parent/community members who helped with fundraising. The Elders Action Group sponsored our bingo, and the Nicholas Monsen Memorial Scholarship Fund sponsored our raffles. We couldn't make it all happen without all you special people.
Jack from the base won the $1000 cash raffle.
Elder's bingo was postponed for one night, so the Surf & Turf raffle took place at Elder's Bingo on Thursday, April 22nd instead of Wednesday. The two lucky winners are Vera Angasan & Shirley Zimin. Congratulations!
