393's 4th Annual Picnic

First off ........ 
Chandler 393 would like to thank everyone who attended our picnic!  Our STAR family is what keeps us motivated in having this annual event!  It's great getting together with the Arizona chapters ....... what great friendships we have in all of you!  STAR Rocks!  

What a day!  Over 100 STAR members and family showed up to the picnic!  Chapters from White Mountains, Globe, Phoenix, Mesa and of course Chandler were there in force.  You could tell  393 by the yellow t shirts! 

It started off "Arizona chilly" and a little windy in the morning, but the day turned out great.  We found out we didn't have electricity so Cowboy came through with a generator!  Spaghetti, Meatballs, and Lasagnas would not have been too good cold.  Thank you Cowboy and Brenda!!  

We had some great Raffle items, thanks to our chapter challenge from Diablo!  Cowboy did an awesome job creating some great STAR coat racks, keyring and business card holders.  Sugar Ant made some terrific bone handled knifes.  Thank You to each and every member who donated an item(s), and Thank You to Diablo for the challenge.  Because of all the chapters,  we were able to raise $428.00 for STAR Family Foundation!  We were all so happy to present that money to STAR!  Congratulations to everyone who won a raffle item(s).  We also had a $168.00 50/50 that our "One Armed Bandit" won, that would be #5. 
Thank you to all of 393 for everything you did to make this day happen!  Everyone pitched in when needed.  It was pretty cool because clean up was easy  EVERYONE helped, it was done in no time at all......  What a great way to end a great day!

NOTE:  The pictures were taken by 0ther, she was busy most the day so she didn't get many pictures.  Eight-Sixty and Jenn took some great pictures so as soon as possible they will be posted here on the blog.
