Summer is gone and with it the very successful Salmon Barbecue, the flat roof, new windows, and a host of lesser things. So many people to thank! Michael Brown at the Village Liquor Store for their August 1% gift of $1,040—on the very day that the roof was finished! Julie Stewart and her legions of helpers at the Barbecue. Mike Peltzer for making sure that the contractors had what they needed as they worked. And last but not least…

We all had a wonderful evening at the Annual Salmon BBQ on August 10th. The food was tasty, as usual. The music was funky. The dancing was spectacular—and the rain stayed away. We are grateful to all and sundry for the $16,000 profit that we will put to good use upgrading your Hall. Attached are some snapshots. However, if you would like…
