On this evening barn goers were greeted with Lousiana Blues music and a table full of Cajun Cooking from the Bayou restaurant in Fleetwood. But the highlight of the evening was a heart-wrenching presetation by Dave Stevenson, the golf pro at Lake Isle. Dave shared his experiences in the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. While we were all watching it on TV, Dave drove down there to help out in any way he could. He cooked meals using his Dutch ovens and gave moral support to folks who lost their homes and in some cases their loved ones. Dave’s audio/video presentation contained photos and videos of the devastation and faces of those whose lives were changed forever. We were all very taken by this and impressed by Dave’s selfless spirit. Hopefully it encouraged all of us to get out and do something to help others. Dave has set up a charity to help the victims. Details are in the Philanthropy section of this site.

Barn Night Details
Barn Nights take place monthly, always on a Friday. The barn is located behind the house at 41 Deerfield. The doors open at 8pm, so feel free to come by, grab a beer, shoot some pool or darts or watch the ball game. The presentations start at 9pm and go for about an hour. Afterwards you can hang out and jam with or listen to the Barn Band. For the die hards there's usually a "wrap up" at around 2am where we share our thoughts on the presentation and get into deep, controversial discussions. There's a donantion box for you to drop in a minimum of $20 to help offset the cost of the event.-
