SPY’s Community Newsletter
(7/16/23)
Thank You Trash Pickers!
Project Chairman Derek “Captain Highway” Desgranges would like to send out a BIG Sunfield Area SPY salute to the following fine folks who helped out on our second Adopt-A-Highway trash pick-up of the season this past Saturday, as well as some of the folks that took advantage of the option of participating earlier in the week. The ditches were a mite soggy in many places due to the four inches of rain we’ve had the last couple of days, but the job got done thanks to these intrepid folks. Thank you:
Dewie Miller
Paul Campbell
John & Sandy Fisher
Jeff & Betsy Gibbs
Steve & Christina Grosshans
Job well done pickers!
Notice #1
The SPY’s are looking for a volunteer to assume the responsibility of being the Chairperson of the Texas Hold ‘Em events. Our current event leader, Jeff Gibbs, now has job responsibilities that involve more travel and it makes it difficult for him to be here to handle the necessary duties---which amount to scheduling and minor paperwork. If you have any questions, require more information, or would like to volunteer to step in and take over, please give Jeff a call at 517-930-6989.
Contributions
Chris & Jill VanAntwerp made a contribution to the Scholarship Fund in memory of Kate Mapes.
Mark Hanna donated a substantial number of golf clubs to the “Golf Equipment For Kids” program.
Mingo Salas donated some glassware to the SPY’s Dime Pitch Booth activity.
Thank you all for your thoughtfulness and caring!
