Key Club and members of the Morrison Mustangs Football program worked together on Saturday, Sept. 17 to prepare sandwiches and raise funds for programs that serve youth in Morrison. Pictured (l-r) are football players Sebastian Carreno, Carson Strating, Logan Baker, Donny Reavy, Danny Mouw, and Hunter Millerschone. The Mustangs’ competitive spirit was alive and well; the volunteers often raced to see who could prepare a sandwich in the shortest time. In the afternoon, Mustangs players Noah Robbins, Jeramiah Callan, Gavin Arians, Koltin Swaim, Thomas Zigler, and Luke Carpenter served capably as sandwich makers, battling rainy and windy conditions to serve the remaining customers from Paint the Town. Thank you to all of the student volunteers who worked in various capacities on Saturday during Harvest Hammer and Paint the Town, including Harvest Hammer event registration, Color Run assistance, Paint the Town square numbering, Paint the Town sponsor logo painting, and Key Club/Kiwanis Club Sandwich Sales. Morrison’s community events could not take place without your involvement!
