Happy Memorial Day to all of you and to your family. I am writing you this letter looking outside my window staring at the American flag and thinking about all the sacrifices our nation’s men and women have made for us to live like we do, it is mind boggling when you really think about it. We owe them so much, yet most of us take it for granted, it’s sad. Please remember the ones that have died for us.
The directors had a meeting this last Wednesday, to hash out what to do these next few months. We decided with the current events, the following:
Your club will still be helping those in need. Last week Nick Skradski, Mark Veylupek, and I built a deck with a ramp for a 10 year old child that is wheelchair bound. We also installed a new patio and bought a fireplace, chairs, and new grill. The donations came from both the Knights of Columbus and Meat Dealers. A special thanks to Nick for organizing this, the family is so, so, grateful.
If any of you know of a family in need or some family member that lost their job because of the virus, please send me an email and hopefully we can help. We may still have a future food drive, but that will be addressed later.
I know everyone misses our dinners, but for now we must stay safe and healthy, and please stay smart.

The directors had a meeting this last Wednesday, to hash out what to do these next few months. We decided with the current events, the following:
- No June or July dinners, with social distancing, buffet style, open bar, table arrangements, capacity, etc., there is no way we could have a dinner, this may apply for the rest of the year.
- No Picnic, we cannot have 700 people social distancing, bathrooms, buffet, beer, raffles, etc.
- No football or wine bus, probably no baseball outing also.
