Cambria, CA
The Lion's Club of Cambria sends out a heartfelt thanks to ALL volunteers in our recent Pinedorado #76. They included:
-
The Parade volunteers who helped with staging the Groups before the Parade, the Announcers, the Judges, the people who placed signs and barricades, and the SLO County Volunteer Sheriff's. And thanks to Harvey's Honey Huts, who donated all the Huts along the Parade route, and on the Pinedorado Grounds!
-
The BBQ volunteers, who cooked the chicken, beef, and ensured that the garlic bread and the salsa were tasty and the people who SERVED all the food.
-
The servers in the Pub who skillfully served the cold beer, and poured the wine without a spill!
-
Our Raffle Booth helpers who organized over 150 donated prizes, to ensure the winners got the right ones.
-
The many Food Court servers who cooked burgers, boiled the corn, dished out the pie, or handed out the free water--and always did so with a big smile.
-
The many volunteers who managed our Game Booths during Pinedorado-- all 8 of them!
-
The safety conscious helpers who supervised the Kiddie Rides and Electric train, to ensure it was FUN for the kids of all ages.
-
Our many Scrip Sellers, who took in cash or credit in exchange for the Scrip used to purchase food or fun during Pinedorado. ( They are key people at Pinedorado!)
-
Our 4am on Sunday volunteers, who arrived very early to help set up for Nate's Car show. ( We had over 90 cars!)
-
The many volunteers who assisted with the Mayoral Ball celebration at Fogs End Barn, who made that evening a huge success for the Chamber, and for the Lion's Club.
We calculate that OVER 100 volunteers from our Community had a hand in making Pinedorado #76 one of best yet. We are deeply grateful to all our volunteers. We hope you will come back next year! Thank You!
Greg Aitkens, President of the Lion's Club.
