                                                                                      July Fish & Shrimp Fry a Success!

 

 

                                                                                 

The annual fish & shrimp fry was held at Big Rich Courville’s on July 8, 2008.  The crowd really enjoyed the fellowship and the great food!

 

The fund raiser brought a few folks from Houston and Lake Charles our way.  The relaxed atmosphere allowed the quite interaction with our members and their guests.  A great time was had by all.  Many thanks to the folks at Rich Courville’s for catering this event.

 

Clark Freight donated 4-Astro tickets and parking pass for a door prize.  Congratulations to Sandra Fife of Wilson Warehouse Company of Texas, Inc., winner of the door prize.
