Extra BBQ volunteer t-shirts available
It has been more than a month now since our very successful 59th annual NMC Barbecue.

We have a small supply of t-shirts left over from the BBQ and would love to give them to anyone who volunteered and did not receive one on BBQ day. Stroll over to Les Biederman 104 to collect yours!
