We had a wonderful time at the Magnolia Ruritan Clubhouse. Thanks to all who supported our Squadron. Members and guest alike enjoyed the evening. We honored our auctioneer as he celebrated his 70th Birthday. Lots of great buys, great job by our Auctioneer Larry Rountree, ably assisted by those two fine assistants Norman Fisher and Mark Presson. |
