Each year, the club hosts three cookout lunches for our local first responders, who are community heroes. In October, we hosted a cookout for all law enforcement officers and support staff. Attending were 90 officers and staff from City Police and County Sheriff's departments and 25 members of the club. Our BBQ team grilled hamburgers, hotdogs, and committee members provided fresh buns and fixings, sides, and desserts for the meal. Our members joined officers at the tables and enjoy sharing the meal and offering our appreciation for their service. In February, a heroes lunch for first responder linemen will be held at Camp Pineywoods. In March, fire fighters and emergency service heroes will be hosted for lunch at their facility.
