Exchange club member Frank Catania sang New York New York with new Spaghetti Dinner lyrics while Exchangites did Rockette-like kicks! We couldn’t kick as high as the Rockettes, but we made a valiant effort! We desperately need more auction items. Please drop auction items off at Classic Chevrolet so the committee can wrap and catalog them. It’s not to late to get sponsors either. They can sign up and pay on line at www.ecsl.org/spaghetti-dinner.php. Tell them to email me a copy of their business logo for the website. Sue sklockwood@comcast.net
