THANK YOU TO ALL THAT ATTENDED THE RAILS & COCKTAILS FUNDRAISER

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that attended and supported our Rails & Cocktails fundraiser Thursday night May 15th at the Sergeant Bluff Community Center. The entertainment provided by Matt D, Garie Lewis, and Mike Langely was spectacular. A very special heart felt thank you goes out to these three individuals for volunteering to donate their time and talents to help us out. If you ever hear of any of these very talented gentlemen performing near you; they are definitely a MUST SEE performance. You will be so very happy that you went to see them.
