The Longest Day - Benefitting the Alzheimer's Association
Wednesday, June 21, 2017

For the fifth year, our participation was great! The morning game attracted 15 tables, and the afternoon game attracted 14 tables! Players bought partners, honored loved ones by naming games, enjoyed a fried fish lunch caught by Jerry Gore and cooked by Jerry and Bill Worsham, played multiple games of bridge, bid in the silent auction, and made donations. Thanks especially to Jerry Gore, Bill Worsham, Tipton Golias (who underwrote the lunch), Liz Mackenzie (who provided the desserts), Ed Rasmussen (who donated all director fees), Linda Briggs (who took most of the photos), and to all others who participated in any way.
	The early total to the Alzheimer's Association including game receipts exceeded $7,400. Job well done, Unit 201!!!!

The Morning Players

Posters, name tags, and balloons added to the festive day!

Thanks to Jerry Gore who provided 100 pounds of fresh catfish and Bill Worsham who helped him cook it on-site! Bill presented "the guy who has everything" with a bouquet of fresh flowers.

The fried fish and hushpuppies were complemented by side dishes underwritten by Tipton Golias* and desserts prepared by Liz Mackenzie.*
