Our 14 Annual Granite Bay Fundraiser Western BBQ on June 8 was a huge success!
We had over 150 attendees that spent the evening at a great venue, the Blue Goose Event Center. The Western Food was great with JR BBQ cooking chicken, tri-tip with all the fixings. Toni’s Find Foods hosted the fresh apple pie to top of the evening.
We made money for our projects and Granite Bay is solvent and on the road to recovery for 2013-2014.
We want to thank all our sponsors, donors, and everyone who attended and supported us. We will be posting all our donors and sponsors on our web page and facebook page so support these great company’s.
Dee Paulsen, a new Granite Bay member took some great pictures during the fundraiser. We will be posting them on our web page so you can see the fun we all had. Check them out at www.granitebaysci.com.
