Meals-on-Wheels Benefit BBQ Exceeds all Expectations!

The Meals-on-Wheels 2nd Annual Ellis County Benefit BBQ, held March 31, 2007, at the Loma Linda Events Pavilion in Rockett, exceeded all expectations! “The support shown, from donors, volunteers, sponsors and everyone involved was truly incredible!” said Marion Reynolds, Board member and event Chairperson.

Along with sponsors, over 200 attendees, and volunteers, the event raised much needed awareness, as well as monies for the organization. Attendees enjoyed a Chuck wagon dinner catered by the BBQ Pit, and entertainment by the award-winning Wade Hatton and the Texas Hat Band. In addition, a silent auction helped raise more money for the organization with donated prizes such as an Angel Fire trip, Southwest Airlines tickets, sporting event tickets, and antiques.

Top Sponsors, underwriting the event were Baylor Medical Center at Waxahachie, Home Loan Corporation, Holcim Midlothian Cement Plant, John Lain Heating & Air Conditioning, Ellis County Newspaper Network, Citizens National Bank, and Mr. & Mrs. Richard Dormier.

Again, a BIG thanks goes out to all those people who made this event so successful. Meals-on-Wheels will see you next year at the 3rd Annual Ellis County Benefit BBQ in March 2008!
