The Lion’s Head Legion held a Valentine’s Dinner which included homemade
cabbage rolls thanks to the organizers and hosts, Wayne and Barb Morningstar.
The tickets for the dinner sold out very quickly and the weather co-operated.
There are many Legion Branch members to thank for their help including the six
servers, Donald Colter, George Bowman, Rick Nolk, Fred Van Tooren, Rick
Witherspoon and Kim White. Rick Witherspoon also greeted everyone at the
door. There were many helping hands in the kitchen including Wayne and Barb
Morningstar, Susan and Dave Uren, Pat Witherspoon and dishwasher helpers
Kim White and Rick Nolk.
A special thank you is also sent to Sue Halliday for printing the tickets and the
ticket sellers, Fred and Jean Van Tooren, Wayne and Barb Morningstar and
Don and Sharron Colter. During and after the dinner people were able to bid
