In a Word, Harvest Gala was "Grand!"
|
The 16th annual Harvest Gala, held October 22 at the Eaglewood Resort & Spa in Itasca, was the most successful ever, raising $174,000 for LCFS programs and services.

Thank you to Jay and Doris Christopher for completely underwriting this year's gala, and to Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, a major sponsor.
A special fund-raising activity during the evening launched a new vocational training program at Lutherbrook. Guests pledged $28,000 toward a new specially designed teaching kitchen where clients can learn food preparation as well as receive training for hospitality industry jobs.
