Fund Raiser for West Sacramento Christmas Basket Project

Ignacio Rodriguez' apple pies and Millie Pepitone's gift baskets were a bit hit at the Lodge fund raiser for the West Sacramento Christmas Basket Project. Thanks to Debbie Johnson for coordinating the event, the Taco Crew for cooking and serving the delicious dinner and all the volunteers who worked so hard to make this annual fund raiser a success.

Taco Dinner and Fundraiser for the Christmas Basket Project

The annual Taco Night Fundraiser for the West Sacramento Christmas Basket Project was a great success raising almost $3000. The high point of the evening was the Gift Auction with Christy Jourdan playing auctioneer. Many thanks to Millie Pepitone for her generous donation of 18 gift baskets for the auction. Debbie Johnson and her volunteer crew have done a great job for our Lodge community service project.
