Chapter 10 Hot Dog Roast, Auction and Membership Drive
Note: we had some flyers up with the wrong times for a while on Wednesday. Correct times: Lunch at noon and Auction at 1 p.m.
January 10th, 2020, this Friday, Chapter 10 will have their annual Hot Dog Roast, Auction and Membership Drive at the Activity Center (AC) starting at noon. This will replace our normal monthly lunch. The hot dogs will be grilled and will be accompanied by other items to make it a meal. The cost is free to Chapter 10 members and $5 a plate for non-members. To join Chapter 10 the annual dues are $5 per person or couple. You can join on the day of the Roast, January 10th, this Friday if you want.
Please remember to bring your name badges. I encourage wearing badges at all Escapee events, it helps everyone remember your name. If you need a name badge, you can get one made inexpensively at the Escapees Headquarters building at Rainbow's End.
The auction will be of donated items. If you have things around the house/rig that you want to part with please consider donating them to the Auction. included in the auction this year will be at least one Mel Trenary creation. Mel was a long-term Rainbow’s End resident and Chapter 10 member. He crafted what I would call creations to put in our annual auction. They had an Escapees theme. The Mel Trenary creation donated for the auction this year includes a clock. The Whites also plan to donate some art work created by Mel described as a painting on an18 inch piece of slate I believe. Donated items can be dropped off at the activity center anytime after 10 a.m. on January 10th 2020. Or contact me or one of the other officers to donate items in advance. The auction will start at 1 p.m.
I used to attend the Chapter 10 Auctions with the idea of getting a good deal, and I did get some great deals. Now I take the same attitude that I do when I bid in the Fire Department and CARE Bake Auctions, "It is for a good cause" and I go with a predetermined amount I plan to 'donate' and don't worry too much about what I walk away with. Whether you take the attitude, 'looking for a good deal' or "it is for a good cause', come and bid.
Annual dues: $5
Officers: President, David Horton; Vice-President, Dave Metzger; Treasurer, Kathy Metzger; Secretary, Solita Collard
