The Annual Strawberry Festival is now in our rear view mirror.
What a great kick off to the season of celebration and fellowship was held on Wednesday, June 22nd, at 6:30 pm at the Buffalo Yacht Club Abino Station.
What a wonderful opportunity to mingle with old and new Friends of the Chapel over delicious strawberry sundaes, cookies and refreshments.
The Mini Silent Auction also culminated in a lot of fun with our many active bidders. All items were aquired, thus supporting the Chapel in another way.
Many thanks to all of our doners who supported us with auction items, as well as, the many volunteers who assisted in this effort.
Thank you once again for your patience and, support as we restart our season after two (2) years of shutdowns.
