The Lewis-Arriola Community Center Board of Directors thanks everyone who contributed to the success of our 12th Annual Chili Supper and Pie Auction. This fundraiser provides for building and grounds maintenance and helps keep our fees affordable.

Thanks to all who purchased tickets and attended the function; and, thanks to all who participate in the Pie Auction year after year. Without you the function could not be a success.

Special thanks to:

Bill Garland for donating beans as he has for several years running, Diamond D Processing, P&D Grocery (Mancos), Wal-Mart and Bane Packing for donating meat, Wayne Johnson and Brittany at SWCOTY for advertising the function on SAYWHAT-TV.

And, thanks to those who bake homemade pies for the auction, year after year. We appreciate you!

Thanks to the 4H Clubs for waiting tables, serving drinks, clearing and cleaning up afterwards. Your kindness, respectfulness and work ethic are admirable and much appreciated.

Very special thanks to the team of auctioneers led by Ellis Yates! You’re the best and you always do a fantastic job. Also, thanks to Cindy Green for keeping track of the pie sales and collecting the money.

Heartfelt thanks to our cooks, kitchen help, servers and cashiers who give their time and energy every year in order to make the Chili Supper a success!

If we have missed thanking anyone, it is an unfortunate oversight – we appreciate everyone who made a contribution, large or small, to the success of the event.

Sincerely,

Lewis-Arriola Community Center Board of Directors, Chan Chaffin, president; Bobby Yates, vice-president; Tracine Duran, secretary/treasurer; Sylvia Hageman; Don Lancon; Kara Suckla; Ron Wilson; and Rich Kriner, maintenance
