Paul Ohlson, Founder of Care-A-Van and Robin Walters, PR Director gather with the scouts.
The Cub Scout Pack 17 of Elba held a local "fun" raiser this evening at the Elba Firemans Recreation Hall. Local families were entertained by Jeff Musial and Nickel City Reptiles and Exotics. The admissison was a non perishable food item.
The scouts combined this evening's food admissions with their local Scouting for Food drive. All donations were then presented to Care-A-Van Ministries to help feed the local people. They also held a 50/50 and presented the proceeds to Care-A-Van.
My understanding is that over the summer the scouts had raised funds that they used to be able to present this fun evening to all families at no charge.
We thank Cub Master Chris Chadbourne scouts and their leaders and all those families that donated to help feed the local families that are in need. You truly have blessed many!
This young man was brave!
There was quite a crowd!
