Inaugural Fundraising Event for Open Arms

Linton, IN - A fun-filled evening is planned at the Linton National Guard Armory on Saturday that will benefit Turning Point Education Center, a part of the Open Arms Family and Educational Services.  A variety of homemade chili soups will be available for purchase along with a silent auction.  Entertainment will be provided by Cochren & Co., a contemporary Christian band. Proceeds from the event will be used directly for Turning Point Education Center (TPEC) students.  “It (the fundraiser) is to pay for scholarships for students who are ready to take the HSE (High School Equivalency) exam and can’t afford it,” Adult Education Coordinator Michelle Ellis said. “This is our first fundraiser and we hope people will come out and support us.”  www.fundraising-ideas.org
