International fund-raiser

Several international students at Central Lakes College worked at the International and Multi-cultural Clubs' car wash fund-raiser March 31 on the Brainerd campus. The club members provided car washes by hand, served hot dogs and root beer floats during a four-hour period, raising several hundred dollars. Proceeds will help defray expenses for the Friday, April 23 Celebration of Nations festival at CLC. The public event from 4:30-8:30 p.m. features music, dance, food, crafts, and prizes for all ages, concluding with fireworks. Those who have a cultural talent (i.e. cultural song, dance, craft) and would like to either perform or vend ethnic wares at this festival, please contact Lori-Beth Larsen (performances, 218-855-8237) or Tashana Husom (vendors, 218-855-8012).
