No report on the PG FFA dinner to be held on Feb 27^th.

Lion Jack Edwards and Lion Charlie Brummer discussed the March Crab Feed in length.  Lion Jack received the tickets but they had the wrong price on them so they are being redone.  Lion Poncho will be asked to be the head cook and PDG Andy agreed to set up the bar.  More to come.
