2011 Chili Day
Our annual pancake day fundraiser was held November 12th at Hicks Hall, Rochelle United Methodist Church. We served over 500 guests with all-you-can eat chili, milk, coffee, juice and fruit cups. Our club was able to earn $4,500 net from the project, close to $1,000 beyond our budget amount. Our RTHS Key Club was on hand to conduct a bake sale, and 50/50 raffle, and earned over $400 for the event. Also, Focus House of Rochelle was in attendance with a number of youth to help clean tables and do setups, as well as serve coffee during peak periods. We want to thank everyone for their generous work. It was a very successful event.
