PROGRAM

 

Casey Mahon, former FCH Rotary member and current member of Elk River Rotary, appealed for support of Elk River’s fundraising project on behalf of the Magnus Veterans’ Foundation of Dayton, MN. The project plans to purchase a transporter for disabled veterans attending the foundation’s fundraising events. Mahon also described the work of the foundation in operating a wellness camp to provide physical, mental, social, and spiritual therapy for disabled veterans.
