First Annual Volunteer Appreciation Lunch A Success
OGT’s Phoenix Branch held its First Annual Volunteer Appreciation Lunch, thanks to the promotional funds provided by the OGT Home Office. It was at their warehouse with Howard Lange (left) and Dave Lottie being in charge of grilling the hamburgers and hot dogs. Some of the volunteers that enjoyed lunch were Pastor Clare Skov (retired), Twyla Skov, Joan and Dennis Trifletti shown in the 2nd photo. Phoenix Branch Manage David Eide was calling raffle ticket numbers for door prizes and more for the many people in attendance. A local ice cream truck came for everyone to choose their favorite flavor! It was a big hit for the day! It was awesome to celebrate our dedicated volunteers and spend time relaxing and visiting.
