The club also plans to work at the Gordon Food Service Christmas Banquet in order to raise more money. They are working hard to pull together the funds!

Another opportunity to fundraise will be at the Gordon Food Service Christmas Banquet on December 13th. The members of the club and any friends or family members will be able to earn money towards a member’s tr
