“Wow, what a time we had this weekend at lst and 2nd Points for Sight. We all met out in the Soccer field behind Nancy's Giddy Ups and had so much fun. Many came in Friday. We had a great Fajita cook's party and more arrived on Saturday morning. We had a great Continentalbreakfast, Karin and Phil Barnes, Houston, fed us lunch. Then we had a great Pot Luck dinner, and then Sunday morning was Papa John's great Sausage Gravy and Biscuits. Oh by the way, we did have a Chili Cook Off and Bean Cook Off and Silent Auction on Saturday and a Chili Cook Off on Sunday. We thank all who came and cooked with us. We had several Cook Offs in the area, so we were very thankful for all who supported our Sight program on Saturday and Sot Pod charities on Sunday. We further thank those of you who brought and bought Auction items.
