Quesadilla Social Saturday

Twenty-nine members came out for an enjoyable morning of bowling, with sunshine, clouds, and even a brief downpour adding to the “fun”. Following the games, members enjoyed a delicious quesadilla lunch together.

A special thank you to Laurie and Chris Hayman for their help with the preparations and grilling. Thanks also to Arlene Murray, Sue Thorn, Brenda Thompson, Shannon Baggott, and everyone else who assisted with the cleanup. Your efforts were greatly appreciated and helped make the day a success.
