But that did not stop 50 Pioneers from coming out to get 2017 off to a great start. We also had Tony Frey subbing for Pere Mulla in getting all the food (subs, potato salad, chips, pickles, green cupcakes (almost St Patty s Day), water, soda, and ice) out and set up on time. THANKS, Tony - great job. Pictures were in the last newsletter. April 2017 Dave s BBQ Highlights The April BBQ was also a great event; catered by Dave s BBQ. We had a larger than expected turnout with 71 attending --- good weather, good BBQ, and cold beer. No leftovers on this one. All of our officers agreed to serve for another year which was unanimously accepted. Some pics from the April BBQ.
