Due to the COVID pandemic, we are not able to serve the Veteran’s a nice hot meal this year, so the FCCLA has decided to give back to our Veterans by raising (Chamber Cash) for the Veterans that usually attend the luncheon, through a coin / penny war. The rules are simple – there are jars in the office: one for each class and one for the staff. To score points for your class, put coins into your jar. To take away points from the other class, put a paper bill into their jars. At the end (Nov. 4th), the team with the most “positive points” will earn free dilly bars. ALSO... the FCCLA will MATCH up to $400 of what is raised! (**UPDATE!! Over $143 has already been collected AND remember the goal is $400 which will be matched by the FCCLA!!) So, if you are feeling generous and want to give back to the Veteran’s that served our country, please participate! Thank you for your support!
