The Saturday Night Jamboree held its annual western/barbecue dinner night recently at the Redmen’s Lodge in Washington. A special thanks to Paul Woolard Construction and Woodard’s Insurance of Bath for providing and cooking the barbecue.

Loving volunteer Carolyn Jefferson and Tillie Braddy registered 146 clients, while Tine and Phyllis Woolard tied cowboy bandanas around each client’s neck.

A special thanks to Ladona Mitchell and Marie Toler and her daughters for providing the materials for the bandanas. Russell Jefferson kept a close watch at the door, while DJ Kenny Beacham played music for dancing, listening and toe-tapping pleasure.

Redmen member Kenny Beacham called games of Bingo and all winners received $1 and a Valentine heart with candy. Other caring volunteers helping for the evening were Marlene Sprouse, Tine Woolard, Michael Cutler and Kin Wood.

Judy Hollis asked the blessing. Redmen members and friends served the barbeque plates with all the trimmings. Those serving included Paul and Phyllis Woolard, Kenny Beacham, Gill Davis, Page Davis, Lawrence Beacham, Clyde Roberson, Kemp Huss, Tim Cashion, Susan Leggett, Kristen Barker and Kin Wood.

Marlene Sprouse led the activities and thanked the Redmen for the wonderful meal. Carolyn Jefferson and Marlene Sprouse gave out 42 perfect attendance awards for the year 2015. Cowgirl Martha Seighman led in singing “Happy Birthday” to all the March and February honorees.

The next Jamboree will be held April 9 from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. All area

mentally/physically-challenged residents and all volunteers are urged to attend.
