ST. IGNATIUS — We would like to say thank to all who came to the pancake breakfast, played bingo and bid on the silent auction items, and thank all the volunteers as well that helped prepare the pancake breakfast and helped serve it. A special thank you goes to the Mission Valley Ranch Hands 4-H Club for all their help. We had 4-H members and members of the Christian Church ride on the Senior Citizen float. We could not have done all these things without all the help.
