The Italy Lions Club wishes to thank the City of Italy for providing our location for our 2nd annual cook-off. The cook-off was a big success this year due to the citizens of Italy and surrounding communities as well as our sponsors:

• J & K Excavating
• Hobbs Feed Supply
• Danny Day Trucking
• Dairy Queen

A special thanks to Clover Stiles for her generous donation for the auction. Shawn Roberts did a wonderful job as auctioneer and emcee and Chicken Express for donating their famous tea. Monolithic Constructors for the use of tables and chairs also First Baptist Church for the use of their tent.

Without the help and support from our sponsors and the City of Italy it wouldn’t have been as successful as it was. We all hope you enjoyed the BBQ as much as we did.

Sincerely,
Italy Lions Club

I would like to thank the Lions’ Club of Italy for inviting me to be a Judge in the recent BBQ Cook-Off. I learned that I am not the best candidate for such a job due to the fact that it is just not my nature to eat one small bite of a rib and pass the plate to the right. That was the most difficult eating experience I have ever had! The BBQ was amazing, and the folks were very friendly. My father was a charter member of the Lions in Forney, and the work Lions do all across Texas is outstanding. Please continue to support their fine causes.
