Montezuma County Senior Services thanks everyone who contributed to the success of our Chili Lunch, Yard Sale, and Silent Auction on May 1. Proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to provide funds for Montezuma County Senior Meals on Wheels, Congregate Meals and Employee Services.

I would especially like to thank my team members, Roxanne Armstrong, Ida and Jerry Shull, Jim and Shirley Hannah and Lori Thompson. Roxanne, Ida and Shirley went to the businesses for donations, put up flyers and sold tickets. They also set up and tended the yard sale and silent auction. Lori printed the flyers and tickets. Heartfelt thanks to our cooks that prepared the food, the kitchen help, servers, cashiers and those that donated food or paper goods, helped set up the yard sale and silent auction, and to Linda and Deb who sold tickets at the door.

Thanks to Linda Carter and her band for providing music for this event.
