Hwy 24 to Hwy 237 North. East on 74th Street then watch for the Branded B signs!
The menu will be Tender Pork Loin, Baked Potato, Lettuce Salad, Green Bean Casserole and dessert, coffee and tea. If nothing else, come for the food, It will be guaranteed to be good! You may bring your own sodas and other choice of drink if you wish. We will have wine, and snacks before our meeting and awards.
Reservations Needed: We do need your reservations by Monday, February 1.
Please do not pay in advance but your required reservation will be a commitment by you to attend the banquet. We are responsible for building fees and the plates ordered, so if you can not keep your reservation, you will be kindly asked to pay for your commitment of $17.00 per person.
If you have two paid family members, JR’s will be charged $10.00 each.
Please Call your Reservation in to Deb Stockwell 785-286-3926 or gojoebeatskylar@cox.net.
We encourage you to bring in your family and any new interested members who would enjoy learning about our club as they celebrate with you in receiving your awards and accomplishments.
We will be hosting a Silent Auction Table. It is a fun way to challenge each other as well as providing MOTDRA with some extra money for club and award spending. If you have a donation, please bring it along. It doesn’t always have to be a horsey item!
