Update on November 9th KLB Bottle Drive:
We just received notice that the net total for this bottle drive was $1712.00. That’s our 2nd largest by approx. only $60.00.
We want to thank all the club members and especially the ones that volunteered their vehicles in order to make this such a success!!
This drive went really well, all of Rayleigh was covered in only 4 hrs or less and that included lunch as well. We could have used one more
pickup truck, as our family had to make 3 trips to the bottle depot.
On another topic, Gary’s sausage and Fresh is Best Chips will be arriving on Dec.9,2019 for pickup, so please ensure that you
have or will pay Fern or Andrew before or on this date.
If anyone owes Gail money for Panago pizza or coupon books, then please see her at the rink next week, thank you.
Knots & Bolts Fundraiser:
