Spaghetti Dinner a Great Success
On Saturday, November 5, 2022 the branch held a spaghetti dinner along with a silent auction. This sold-out event was a great success. The money raised went to purchase new tables for the legion. A big thank you to the following who donated items to the silent auction.
Also, a big thank you to all of those who volunteered to make this event happen.
