Hi to All,
Re: Joint fish fry/bake sale: Wellborn Neighborhood Watch and Wellborn Community Association
WCA members voted unanimously last evening to go in w/WNW on the fish fry on Friday Jan. 8th A motion was also made and approved to split the cost of the fish 50/50 with WNW if we decide to take the cost from WNW funds rather than from the proceeds of the fry. Comm. Billy Maxwell has offered to get the fish for us and we can probably reimburse him later. (Will check). WNW's Tim S. is planning to bring a commercial fish cooker and we will have the WCA kitchen and dining area, which is better than Blake Lowe bldg. to cook in and set up. Kathy Snowden offered to bring baked beans and Bobbi offered to bring cole slaw. Before the date, I hope to get more offers of baked beans & coleslaw so will only have to have back up cans of baked beans and cole slaw packages/fixins just in case we run low. We will plan to cook grits, hushpuppies and fish on site. A few from WCA & WNW have already offered to brings cakes, etc. for bake sale.
Have no idea how many to plan for (over 200 ??) but plan to do advertising and get out a bunch of signs. Let's hope we can get a huge turnout. I enterviewed Hank yesterday for the paper and made pics. (Wendell, my article is due Jan. 3rd. to be published on the 5th. - guess what I'm writing about this time) Not only did he lose everything he had, but he was storing his brother's tools and the helper's tools were in the bldg too. A collection was taken up at the WCA Christmas party and a good bit was put in the sack, which will help over Christmas. Such a shame for something like that to happen. Didn't mean to be heading this up and acting as go between but somehow I got to be it and am happy to do the best I can. Will soooo appreciate volunteers for help (we need outdoor fish fry lead in signs made from wood on posts--last time we used cardboard and it folded and just didn't work - and then put up everywhere we dare. Also will need inside signs for the stores -- that can be hard paper) and beans and coleslaw as well as baked goods. Might also be good to have cupcakes and brownies we can sell separately for folks to have w/dinners. Dinners to be $6.00 and include a drink, fish, hushpuppies, baked beans, grits, coleslaw. Desert extra.
Thanks in advance to all of you. With your help maybe we can help another to get back on his feet and let him know Wellborn cares.
