The club collected $284 to be donated to The Lord s Diner. The Lords Diner does a tremendous job providing nutritious hot meals to anyone in our community who walks thru their doors. We hope this donation will help continue the good work that their organization provides. This was a great start to the holiday season, and a nice way to end the year.
