Leona Valley Sertoma Says-

“THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT”

THANK YOU to the MANY folks who supported our epic 2018 St. Patrick’s Day dinner …

The rain, sleet, and snow did not keep the folks from our Lakes and Valley’s and our neighbors from Palmdale, Lancaster and Rosamond from coming out to enjoy this annual event, as we served over 200 dinners. This year, the net proceeds of the fundraiser will be presented to the Leona Valley Improvement Association to help defray the repair costs for a new driveway and/or additional building expenses.

This year we prepared 260 pounds of prime corned beef, 55 heads of round green cabbage, 100 pounds of red potatoes, 2 ½ cases of carrots and 80 pounds of onions all to be enjoyed by our guests. AND, it took the muscle power of over 30 volunteers to make it all happen.

We also owe a big THANK YOU to Rally Auto Group for their sponsorship, one anonymous contributor, Chefs – Bill Moore & John Seymour, Casa Gutierrez, LVIA, Gymkhana, 4-H Racketeers, LV Queen Contestants, Cherry Chapters, Lakes & Valley’s Gazette, AV Press, Live Again, Mayde in Ireland, Merrie Profitt, Karl Pearcy, John Glover, Linda & Darik Bolin, KJ & Sandy Miller, Juanita & Vance Kirkpatrick, Pam & Bill Elliott, Charlene Moore, Bev Brownfield, Betty Wade, Linda Lorenz, Deserie Taback, Mary Thomas, Ray Mullins, Jan Clark, Kathy Bramwell, Bud & Sharon Lehrner, Teresa, Matt & Alex Braley, Bridget Razo, Susan Heinold & Cathy Lord.
