2016 Scholarship Breakfast Fundraiser

Breakfast today was another success for Emporia Sertoma Club. Served up @ 500 meals to members of the community. Lots of opportunity for fellowship. There was a group of ESU school of  nursing students helping during the fundraiser, serving drinks, helping people to tables, drinks and the monster effort of doing the kitchen dishes, huge job.
