This happened last night. Earthrise Energy presented the Crete Lions with a $25,000 grant for us to give to the Crete Township Community Center to use to build a new community kitchen in their Cottage Grove facility. The community will be able to use the kitchen for weddings, showers, community dinner events, or for their cooking small business needs.
