Story and photos to follow. Here is a picture of Debbie Robinson's "Mission Table"

“What an excellent job our Membership Chair, Debbie Robinson did in setting up a VERY informative table stating ”who we are, what we do, and why we matter” at our Williston Unit 144 Chinese Auction/Dinner Fundraiser on November 19, 2022. From our “mission” to our “branding”to “eligibility rules” to “sign-up applications” bravo Debbie!! The public came to enjoy a terrific Chinese dinner, from soup to fortune cookies, got to win a variety of prizes and, thanks to Debbie’s ”mission” table, got to see how their donations are used.
