Spring Nite at the Races Report

  The March 14 Night at the Races was a huge success with over 100 hundred people enjoying a delicious corned beef and cabbage dinner prepared by Bill & Pat Hack and Mike Giangrasso. After dinner the races began and the excitement continued until the very last race. The 50/50 was won by Eddie Ritzmann. The annual MBPOA Membership raffle first prize winner off $500 was MBPOA Gold Card Member Mario DiMeo and the second prize of $250 was won by Kathy James.

There were so many helpers throughout the evening and too many to mention, so our sincere appreciation to all who made the night a success once again. Thank you also to all the attendees who made the evening so much fun and for their support of the MBPOA. Events like the Nite at the Races are not only a fun time but they enable the MBPOA to do it's charity work throughout the year.
