2008 HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE
The GFCA Annual Food Drive was a huge success once again thanks to the generosity of our community members. The drive was held Dec 13-14 and despite the cold weather enough food was donated to fill up the back of an extended length SUV. The food was delivered on Dec 18th to the HELP Center in Elkton. The center’s staff was very appreciative and extends a thank you to everyone who contributed during these difficult times.
Thanks to former board member Michele Gangemi for coordinating and delivering the generous gifts of the community.
2008 ICE CREAM SOCIAL
Congratulations to community members Jane Cantera – winners of the 2008 annual drawing for a carriage ride and dinner at Fair Hill Inn.
The raffle is a fund raiser for the civic association so thanks to everyone that participated in another successful year. Many thanks to Russ Holland for coordinating the raffle and officiating at the drawing. The winning entry was selected by Masha Bojko dressed as Snow White at the annual ice cream social. The social was well attended with over 125 residents stopping by to enjoy Kilby’s ice cream and share a beautiful fall day with nighbors. Thanks to Lisa Hower and Hannah Kreidel for coordinating the event.
2008 ANNUAL FISHING DERBY
The sun was out on Saturday, June 14, the day of the Annual Glen Farms/Tara Fishing Derby. Many in the community look forward to this family event and, as always, it was held along the banks of Lake George. Participants ranged the gamut of whole families to individuals and any mix in between. The Derby is geared towards the youth of the community, and contestants are broken into various age categories. As in years past, Dave Larason headed up the event.His enthusasim for the Derby and the community really adds to the occasion. Two other regulars, Bill Brenchly and Mike Kelly assisted Dave and the contestants. Earl Loomis did the photo honors. Light snacks and sweets were provided for all who attended. Prizes offered represented an array of rods and tackle and were awarded in the following categories; Largest fish, smallest fish, and most fish. Special Mention was available for a turtle or the one known catfish; however this award went undeclared this year. The weather was great, spirits were high and the fish were biting. What more could an angler ask for?
