Lion Beth organized the Steak Night at the Port Gamble Masonic Lodge, with help on the tables from Lion Lynnea, and help in the kitchen making salads and prepping the bread from Lion Karen. Lions Jay and Sandi brought the baked potatoes, Lion Jim S. picked up the steaks from Albertson's, and Lions Chuck and John grilled the meat. It was a fabulous meal!
