Stampede Breakfast - Thank You Volunteers: Thank you so much to everyone who showed up on Sunday to join us for our annual breakfast. A huge thank you goes out to the many, many volunteers that stepped up to help. So many additional people stepped up on the day to help out in the kitchen and clean up (sorry I know there are a lot of names missing from our list). It means so much, thank you! Special thanks need to go out to Paula Sangster for doing such an amazing job managing the kitchen, Barrie Clayton for being our MC and the McUke players for keeping us entertained throughout the breakfast.
