Hello All,

Everyone has been concerned and asking about Red Crouch.   Redman has been in the hospital for over 80 days now since having his heart by-pass surgery.  The last two days have been good and he was able to stand for over 3 minutes today, has been eating a little, and the recent infection he had is gone.  It has been a long & hard ordeal for Red, Betty, & family and we hope he gets well soon and comes home.  Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Tomorrow night, Thursday, the special will be $1.00 off all Semper Fi Signature Meals.  Layne will be doing Karaoke and Patty Black will be there to sing.  Patty was at the Officers Initation Party and she was wonderful.  Come out and enjoy the food and music.

Friday night Nancy will be singing and the special is Filet Mignon, baked potato, salad, & roll for $12.  To reserve a steak, call Chad at 401-2423.
