It’s a beautiful day. 🌞⛅️ Why spoil it having to making dinner tonight? 😩Let us do the cooking for you! Please join us for an easy, peasy, drive thru dinner at The Grove Community Church in Altona. (You can stop at the brand new shelter across from Ransom Memorial Public Library and make it a picnic! 🧺) It will be a free will donation event and all funds raised will be used for community service projects like the new shelter. Our next project is possibly a new scoreboard at the baseball diamond! ⚾️🥎🏟️ Stop by anytime between 5-7 today. Thank you always for your support!

In case you haven’t driven by and seen it, here is our wonderful new picnic shelter sponsored in partnership with Village of Altona and the Altona IL Lions Club! It will be a great place for family gatherings or just a relaxing place to hang out next to the new playground equipment the village installed a couple years ago. Thank you to all who supported this mission by attending our breakfasts and dinners. Without you, it wouldn’t have happened and we hope you take advantage this great park!!
