HALLOWEEN THANKS!

Thanks to the Club’s Halloween Committee for their hard work and dedication to the Safe Trick or Treat Night event held last Thursday.  The Club’s booth theme this year was “Minecraft” which is a game that allows players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Special thanks to Tiff Reed, Trista Welch, Terry Bradley, Beth Bradley, Sherry Toineeta, Paige Crowe, Nikki Crowe, Gina Crowe, Jody Saunooke, Michael Bradley, Leslie Lossiah, Ietan Reed-Littlejohn, Hayes Reed, Herbie Lossiah, Chad Carver, Travis Smith and Missy Ledford for their assistance in this project.
