Rice Lake Area Men’s Club donates to Youth Program
A little over a week ago the Rice Lake Area Men’s Club approached the RLNA Youth Director about speaking to them in regards to the Youth Program and possible funds that it could use. Kris Hanson the Youth Director & Head Coach then put a list of additional items that the program could use and an outline together. Bjorn was then asked to go and speak the the RLAMC. Information was presented and today we recieved a $500 check from the Club to go towards the Youth Program’s needs. A really big THANKS to those people involved!
