The Lewis-Arriola Community Center Board of Directors thanks everyone who contributed to the success of our 12th annual Chili Supper and Pie Auction. This fundraiser provides for building and grounds maintenance and helps keep our fees affordable.
Thanks to all who purchased tickets and attended the function and thanks to all who participated in the Pie Auction this year. Without you, the function could not be a success. Special thanks go to:
Bill Garland for donating beans as he has for several years running. Diamond D Processing, P&D Grocery (Mancos), Wal-Mart and Bane Packing for donating meat.Wayne Johnson and Brittany at SWCOTV for advertising the function on SAYWHAT-TV.And, thanks to those who bake homemade pies for the auction, year after year. We appreciate you! Thanks to the 4H Clubs for waiting tables, serving drinks, clearing and cleaning up afterwards. Your kindness, respectfulness and work ethic are admirable and much appreciated. Very special thanks to the team of auctioneers led by Ellis Yates! You’re the best and you always do a fantastic job. Also, thanks to Cindy Green for keeping track of the pie sales and collecting the money. Heartfelt thanks to our cooks, kitchen help servers and cashiers who give their time and energy every year in order to make the Chili Supper a success! If we have missed thanking anyone, it is an unfortunate oversight as we appreciate everyone who made a contribution, large or small, to the success of the event.
