Coffee Break a big success

Posted by admin on 1st June 2008

Thank you to all of our active club members that made our Memorial Day Coffee Break a huge success.
Donations were on-par from the last couple of years, despite our closing down 3 hours early because of the threat of bad weather. Many travelers as well as club members look forward to these coffee breaks, and we see a lot of familiar faces every year.

Thanks again Kiwanians!!
