Members:
Don't forget the Banquet Auction! Quality auction items are always needed and the monies raised from the Banquet Auction go a long way towards assisting with the day to day cost associated with operating our association. Thanks for the response last year. With the same usual team effort and support we can be successful again this year! If you have an item to donate bring it with you to the Annual Meeting and Banquet or call John Holmes 705-357-1261 if you have any questions.
Any questions about the banquet or auction please call John Holmes 705-357-1261.
