Exciting News from the Mortgage Retirement Committee: We are having our "$52.00 Dinner" on Saturday, April 12, 2008. Admission will be $52.00 ($1.00 for each week of the year). There will be good food, fun and entertainment! And yes, we take payments. See Mary Jo Smith, Dale Wulf, or Andy Wilcox for more information.
And, the Vending Machine Committee is joining in and has placed cans and bottles in the soda machine with $5.00 off coupons on them. This will entitle you to $5.00 off your admission to the $52.00 dinner. We have already had several folks find the drinks with the $5.00 off, there are more in there.
