We'll have a special treat for anyone who brings in three nonperishable items to the club that day. Our shop to support PA Wounded Warriors raised over $500. We had a great turn out with lots of raffle prizes, vendors and fun. We celebrated Super Bowl LIII together. Some members were happier than others, but, as always, we all came together over fabulous food that was prepared by the members. We had door prizes for everyone.
