Welcome to the Sehwatu Chapter!

2024 Sehwastew Highlights

Brothers, our 11th annual Brunswick Stew Fundraiser (2024) was a huge success.  We produced 473 quarts of stew in 3 pots and raised money that will help support our various Chapter events.

We had tremendous help again this year.  We cooked our own BBQ all day Thursday and cooked our first pot Friday during the day. We pulled apart chicken, peeled and chopped onions, and peeled and diced potatoes during our prep party.  We had some pulled pork, chips, pickles and cookies for dinner.  Then we cooked the 2 pots of stew Friday evening into Saturday morning and were done with packaging those pots by 3:00am.

We would like to recognize a few who stood out with their efforts:

•  Greg Allsbury, Thomas Caprariello, Mark & Len Chapman, Bob Coughlin, Richard Garner,  Darren Seigler, Jon Sielsky, and Ben Yarborough for cooking, pulling and chopping the pulled pork for 18 hours starting Thursday morning at 8am and finishing up at 2am Friday morning.

•  Joe Craddock and Bob and Jolie Coughlin as our top sellers

•  Sajan Patel for serving as our youth chair for the Brunswick Stew event
