October 21st to 24th was the annual Officer’s Outing at Rest-a-While in Hoodsport. Some campouts seem to be the gold standard of outings. This outing could be one. Hosted by your 2010 officers, it featured three host made meals with two desserts.
Sherie and Stephanie (assisted by Barb and Karen) cooked Friday’s prime rib dinner followed by Sherie’s super cherry trifle. Saturday morning, they baked egg casseroles. Saturday’s dinner was Chris Blankenship’s always excellent shrimp gumbo accompanied by Gary Blankenship’s banana/vanilla wafer pudding. Outside the park, we also enjoyed great meals at local restaurants – the Tides and the Model T Pub.
For pudding or gumbo recipes, email Sherie at saglewis@comcast.net or Chris and Gary at garydawg@msn.com or phone them.
Our 7th annual Push Poker Tournament champion was Judy Gertsch with Darrell Schmittler second and 2008 champion Jerry Drumm third. Winners of the “loser” brackets were Dave Gertsch, Gary Blankenship and Ed Hall.
Cathy Higdon hosted (assisted by Dan Grasser, Patti Myers and Chris Blankenship) the annual Thanksgiving dinner. There was great holiday fare prepared by the Lodge and lots of cool door prizes. The Club raffled a porcelain Christmas statue made by Patti with the proceeds of $167 going to Tall Elks. The raffle was won by Lue Turner.
There are lots of great outings scheduled for next year and we need hosts for most: March at the Home Park, May at Lacey, June at Glen Ayr Hoodsport, July at the Lacey rally, November for the Thanksgiving dinner, and December at the Christmas dinner.
