Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) members are selling tickets for a benefit dinner for the Journey Home's garden. The Journey Home is a Christian Outreach Center for the homeless and at-risk individuals and families in Rutherford County. The class goal is to sell 540 tickets at $7 per ticket; if they make that goal, Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial will match up to $2,500. The class should be able to turn over a check to the garden for over $6,000 to purchase some much needed equipment.
The event will be held on Friday, November 9, at Stones River Country Club. There will be two seatings: one from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and one from 6:30 to 8 pm. The spaghetti sauce, noodles, and Alfredo sauce are being provided by Demos. The ticket price also includes rolls or bread sticks, salad, dessert, coffee, tea, or water. One hundred percent of the ticket price goes to the garden. Scott Foster, Executive Director of the Journey Home, will be giving a short presentation on the panhandling issue at both dinners as will Brad Blomgren from Way of Hope.
Students from Siegel High School's Key Club will also be working that time to help the SIFE students serve the patrons.
