Linda Stefonek gave a presentation at our meeting last month on the Can-Do Canines program. Can Do Canines is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities. Anyone can be a volunteer to help train the dogs. All the expenses are paid for by the program. If you are interested let our council know and we will put you in touch with Linda.
The KC Fish Fry’s are approaching fast. Bill Stacken is heading up the program this year and is asking for many hands to help. Please contact Bill if so that he can put you to work 715-781-2273. Date are 03/29/19 and 04/05/2019. Progressive Bingo to follow the meals.
Congratulations to members Jerry Frey, Steve Flatten and Mike and Kathy Stevens for being winners of the Church remodel raffle.
