 I’d like to recognize a few individuals that make our Fish Fry run more efficiently.
Mary Becker – is always in the kitchen cleaning, organizing, putting dishes away, whatever needs to be done.  She also helps orient the Fish Fry server crew and helps get the serving area set up each Friday.
Tom Webb – is always in the kitchen cleaning, organizing, doing things that have to be done, in addition to filling in on the Fish Fry Crew and doing a couple of Saturday Night Specials.  He also puts the weekly food order away and our supplies are well organized.  Finally he cleans and changes the oil in our deep fryers – an icky but necessary job!



Jim Gerstbrein – one of the longest tenured crew who’s been our fry man almost every Friday night for 15+ years.
Randy Roe – joined us a few years after Jim and has been a regular for 10 years.  He also serves as the Aurora Turners president and keeps a very busy schedule.
Timmy Zbinden – he’s the newest but is just as loyal as the rest and has finally been promoted from journeyman to full Fry Guy  And most importantly he keeps us laughing and hydrated!

Thanks to Chris Mostyn for writing and bugging us for items, editing, and printing the Bulletin every week all season!

Saturday Night Specials - I would like to thank all my good Turner friends who came out and supported our first year of the Saturday night special meals. They were a big hit; I believe everyone enjoyed the grub and yes, we will be making this a tradition every year so look for 3 or 4 more special Saturday nights next year.
Again thank you so much for your support. Speaking of support, I would like to thank everyone who helped make these meals such a success the first year out, especially Mary Becker, Randy Roe and Scott Lau. There were many other folks who helped me cook or serve the meals up front. You know who you are, and I thank you immensely I really do Thank everyone. Here’s to next year and have a safe and healthy off season!! Tom Webb
