Watonga’s streets were filled with the sounds of motorcycles and smells of barbecue last weekend. The sixth annual Bikes and BBQ Rally was held, and it appeared to be a huge success. The weather cooperated mostly, with only a few sprinkles on Saturday afternoon. That did not seem to dampen any spirits. Our thanks to all who participated.
We received a very pleasant surprise Friday morning from the Watonga Masonic Lodge, in the amount of a $10,627 check for our chicken and noodle dinner fundraiser, that was held on April 10. Without the Masonic support, and local citizens’ support, our center would not be able to serve delicious meals Monday through Friday. Come in and dine with us every day, except Wednesday when Kiwanis meets, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. On Wednesdays, we eat from 11 a.m. to noon. You will receive a meat dish, mashed potatoes and gravy, a vegetable, salad and homemade roll and homemade dessert, with a drink for $7. No tax, no tip, no dishes to wash! Call any morning before 10 for home delivery. Our menu is: Thursday, April 30 Steak Fingers Friday Indian Tacos Monday Taco Salad Tuesday Chicken Strips Wednesday Steak Fingers Thursday, May 7 Barbecue Sausage Friday Ham and Sweet Potatoes Our meals were delivered last week by Teresa Bryan, Sharon Barnes, Curt and Brenda Stein, Janice Hood and Vernon Brickman. Our thanks to them.
Richard and Sandra Hightower made a memorial donation for David Myrick, Danna Taylor and Sharon Gates. Jim and Mae Thompson made a memorial donation for Danna Taylor and Sharon Gates. Andy Barrett donated what he received for the aluminum cans he takes for recycling. These donations and memorials are always welcomed.
Louise Cooper was our lone quilter this week. Speaking of quilts, come by the center and see the antique quilt placed by the Cheyenne Quilt Guild. That organization is holding a silent auction on this lovely quilt. It was made by the Enterprise Club in the 1920s and 1930s and is signed by about a dozen ladies. The quilt top was donated to the Quilt Guild by Jennie Castleberry and it was hand-quilted by some ladies near Ames. It appears to have been made from feed sacks, because according to the quilt experts, feed sacks do not fade! You may recognize some of the names of the ladies who signed the quilt. Opening bids start at $500.
Welcome May and May the Fourth Be With You!
