BIG THANKS to John Ketarkus & Dan Kovara who sponsored today's Alumni House lunch
John & Dan offered 3 different types of Salads for lunch with Dinner Rolls - DELICIOUS.
Bill Mueller brought an O&H Kringle. George Gordon brought a container of Pound Cake.
Lloyd Tremmel brought 16 boxes of Ferrero Rocher Assorted Chocolates. A $5 donation to the Alumni House "Kitty" got you a box. Needless to say the 16 boxes sold out.
