Even though the weather was overcast and the economy was tough, our June 13, 2010 memorial birthday party was a success! More than $6,000 in donations were received. If you missed the raffles, silent auction (including signed Red Wing’s items), “Red” the Robin, great food, “Decorate a Duck”, fellowship, etc. get involved!  We have projects going almost all year long!
