The Exchange Club of the Tri-Cities thanks everyone who supported our Annual Pasta and Meatball Dinner at the Arcada on October 6. The event raised over $7000 to be given to local charities plus 90 meals were delivered to Lazarus House. We were pleased to have St. Charles Mayor Clint Hull speak and present a key to the city to our own Duane Buttell who we also honored with a “Legacy of Service” Award. We appreciated Ron Onesti who stopped by to say a few words after his successful twist contest and a visit with the Pope. The Exchange Club looks forward using the funds for more good works to benefit those in need and thank you again!
