We had our November meeting at the Fayston Town Hall on Tuesday, November 6, 2007. Nine members attended.

Our Annual Raffle Dinner was a tremendous success. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make it a fun evening. A special thanks to the Kenyon’s. We would not have had such a great turn out without all their help and hard work.
