I can’t recall, even in my short tenure, a larger crowd for our Spring Dinner Fundraiser. The Moose opened up the bar/restaurant area because there were so many people. No, really! I credit all of you for the very excellent work you do on a daily basis for making this place the kind of place it is. Apparently, the community thinks it’s a good place too, worthy of support!
