Special
Game to honor Harriet Byers
On Friday, August 13 Unit 216 hosted a dinner and game to honor Harriet as Unit 216’s “Teacher of the Year”. The celebration was a potluck dinner with Unit 216 providing the main course. Rod and Marge Burnett were co-chairs of the event. The dinner was quite a treat with the Burnett’s son in law grilling ribs, pork and chicken. We had 36 ˝ tables for the game after the dinner.
