This is an invitation to all Bargain Barn workers and auxiliary members — please come to lunch at Emelle’s Madeira Bistro on Monday, Feb. 23 from noon to 2 p.m. Cost is $20 per person, all inclusive of tax/tip. Seating at Emelle’s is limited to 30 and since this is the annual general meeting and a voting meeting, the first 30 paid-up members will be given priority.
If you are interested in serving the auxiliary in 2015 as secretary, please let Carol know. We will be having fun with a Bargain Barn “contest,” designed to help teach us about the Barn and poke some fun at what we do. RSVP to Carol Krych at [email protected].
