 Friday evening saw the convergence of Cooties and Sisters from the Great State of North Carolina at VFW Post 670 for dinners of steak, chicken, or shrimp with baked potatoes, freedom fries, salad, and rolls which was professionally prepared and served by NC Chapter #1, of the Rolling Thunder. After dinner State VFW Commander, John Shelander, provided his expert service as DJ and Karaoke master.

 After the MOC and MOCA meetings on Saturday, the MOCA held an initiation in which the MOC “snuck in” Past Grand Commander Larry Flood to see what was going on. He got caught and had to endure the initiation himself.

 In the evening, Pup Tent 24 held the “Winter Wonder Land” dinner and dance. PT 24 spared no expense and ordered snow for the evening.  A delicious dinner of sweet and sour meatloaf, roast pork loin, and Teriyaki chicken with all the trimmings was served.

 The host Pup Tent called in one of their own expert, Cootie Gordon Craig, to call out the horse races with the assistance of Cdr Shelander. Six not so young jockeys rode the two-year-old thoroughbreds in 4 races.

 As a special treat to all who attended, our Grand Chaplain, Stephen Smith, officiated in the renewing of wedding vows to two of our MOC/MOCA couples. Jerome and Gloria Kusy (Jacksonville, NC) as well as Dave and Debby Thompson (High Point, NC) stood before all who were present and exchanged their vows (again).

 DJ Gail Strickland from Nashville, TN provided the music for the remainder of the evening. There was even dead and dying bugs in the area.
