37th Annual Woodway Barbecue

The Woodway Public Safety Association's 37th Annual Barbecue will be held on Saturday, September 25th, 11 am to 7 pm at Woodway Elementary School, 325 Estates Drive. Its an all-you-can-eat event catered by Vitek's, cost is $10 for adults, $6.50 for children. The funds raised will go toward a variety of Woodway youth programs and to purchase much-needed equipment for the Woodway Public Safety Department. The City has posted a link to the event here (a pdf file will download).

If you found a barbecue advertisement on your door, here is why. About 6 pm, about 15 or so volunteers came out to go door-to-door giving out flyers advertising the barbecue. We were driven out in three fire trucks. I will almost certainly miss some of those that that were there but here is who I noted: Woodway officers Craig Bouse, Ben Selman, Ray Dobbs, Norm Burgess and Bill Killian; Mayor pro tem Gil Lillard recruited his extended family: his wonderful wife Teresa and their two daughters Jennifer and Shelli, son-in-law Andrew, grandchildren Makayla and Eli, and Makayla's BFFL (best friend for life) Marlee; and the Lillard's neighbor Tim Barrett and his two sons TJ and Stephen. It was a hot day and even hotter inside the fire truck despite the non-functional AC unit. I suspect the City Council would have no objections to getting that AC unit fixed...! This is one way to let the Council know what things you need!
