We just don’t see to have enough support.) Told them we would do lunch if they could not work something else out. Laura Wiles has offered to organize this with me. BUT now Laura has hurt her knee pretty badly and can’t be on her legs all day, she is going to need surgery to address the issue. I have about 3 boy scouts offering to help. We are keeping this simple. Just serving lunch but starting lunch at 9:30 – you know how horse people are starving by 10! Club will pay for the food and repay ourselves and hoping to make a little money while we do it. WE ARE ASKING IF ANYONE IN THE CLUB COULD MAKE AND DONATE A POT OF CHILI. We are offering chili dogs and taco in a bag – which both need chili. Possibly drop it off at the show or get to Wiles’ the morning of October 23. Please let Laura Wiles know if you can:
