| Since Vinnie is on vacation, I thought I would come on and thank everyone who attended on the band's behalf. We had a great time playing for the crowd. The auctions looked like they raised a ton of money and the night was perfect for a street dance!
I was told, while there, the money first goes to a scholarship fund set up for a Bucklin grad, that is renewable for 8 semesters, as long as the grades are there. Then, the money is spent on something the whole community can use - last year, they bought a very nice huge propane grill (so big it has to be towed by a truck). This is for anyone in Bucklin to use whenever they want to - family reunions, weddings, etc - at no charge! All they have to pay is for the propane itself. I was told the money this year was going to the purchase of several nice folding tables and chair to, again, be used by the citizens of Bucklin. |
