Chili Gang Report
The program was presented using our new equipment.
Joe and Gus finally got a computer hooked up and the
three members of this year's Chili gang
narrated-Steve Mau, Paul Heinlen, and Joe Schulte.
The theme is "Shoot the Moon" and they had some fun
with that picture! The dancing letters gave them a
bit of a problem but the pictures and the story were
fun and helped to encourage everyone to show up, eat
some chili and vote for our group.
Gary accepted the check from Sertoma for $1,000 for
completing his Wacky Walters Adventure rollerblading
to Washington D.C. Gary appreciated the specal tour
of the capitol building. He feels that Sertoma and
Brainerd are so much more American than what is
going on in Washington D.C. Lisa told us how proud
she is of Gary and her family for doing this. The
event has raised over $16.000 and hopes to top the
%20,000 mark. |
