Fundraising & Scholarship
|
The Montala Chapter is committed to the ongoing education of its members. We also like to give back to the community by giving a scholarship to a student beginning their college career or to a woman that is continuing her education. Our Annual Bunco Madness fundraiser is held each year during the month of March at the Arrowhead Country Club. The proceeds from our fundraiser go toward our education fund.
Our 8th Annual Bunco Madness Fundraiser will be on tuesday, March 1, 2011 at the Arrowhead Country club at 6:00p.m. Tickets will be available for purchase on January 7, 2011.
