Sauk Village Senior Committee Report
November 8, 2016
Thank you committee members, volunteers and all participants for making the 13th Annual Senior Spaghetti Dinner a huge success. As usual the line
dancing led by Flora Haynes and wonderful entertainment by The Morgan Family
were great. There were many winners for door prizes, special raffle and
50/50 with additional prizes (mostly donated by the committee).
Congratulations
to all the winners, especially long-time resident Linda Dykas winning the
50/50 prize. Kudos to our kitchen volunteers Chef Steve Shympkus, Sharon
Nowak, Rose Ketcham, and Chris Turner. Unfortunately, we missed the
November Sauk Talk dead-line, however, the January issue will include detailed
credits and information.
