The club is dedicated to raising funds to support both local and international initiatives, embodying the spirit of service and seizing new opportunities to do good. Like all organizations and groups with a purpose, they may face challenges, but their focus remains on contributing to their community and the world. Their fundraising events, well-publicized in local newspapers, attract many neighbors and friends eager to participate and donate. The largest of these events, offering fun and information for the entire family, are the Home and Garden Show, Chili Cook-off, and beer tasting.
