A big thank you to all who helped set up and to Ethel Harmel for her memorial display for a founding member Mary McLaren. Thank you to everyone when it came to clean up. Special thanks to the Fremark boys and to Larry Donald for giving up Sunday morning to help us find the squeal from the speakers.
