Gingerbread-A Sweet Success!

As the holidays approach, we can be proud of our leadership within our community.  Our wonderful Gingerbread fundraiser was handed over to the Jacksonville Historical Society this year and they had excellent turnout for their first event.  A total of 36 homes were brought in for display and some of our members turned out to assist with building the display and helping to insure their success.  We hope that you will take time to go over and see the Gingerbread Extravaganza and support all of their fine efforts.
