COLLEGE STUDENTS HELP AREA ORGANIZATION

Students in the Hotel and Restaurant Management program at Iowa Lakes Community College are the recipients of a check, thanks to the Knights of Columbus of the Graettinger Immaculate Conception parish.

The students used March’s Spaghetti Dinner in Graettinger as a learning experience on how to prepare food for a large number of individuals.

The Knights of Columbus members of Graettinger sponsor the event and the students prepare the food.

“It worked well having all the help that Steve Olerich and the students provided in food preparation,” said Steve Dobbins Grand Knight of the Immaculate Conception Knights of Columbus. “We’re a new chapter and it really made a difference with the organization of the event.”  

With the success of this year behind them, Dobbins reports his group will begin plans for a repeat event next year. 

Hotel and Restaurant Management program students were on hand for the official check passing.  They included, front row, Emily TeVelde, Nicole Paulsen, Sondra Marnin, Alice Wasson and Rose LaFrentz. In the second row Greg Haack, Brandon Walker, Professor Bob Halverson, Knight of Columbus member Steve Dobbins, Jacques Mullenax and Associate Professor Kerry Erickson.
