Mr. Recreation Mike G. Sakelaris "SAK" is retiring. After 55 yrs, as the Fort Hall Recreation Director, February 3rd will be his last day. We invite you to Timbee Hall for Sak's party on that day at 10 am. We all have a lot of good memories of our time in Timbee Hall and Recreation. We are all very thankful Sak for supporting and working with almost 5 generations. We are going to ask if you have any fond memories that your willing to share please leave a comment.
