22 Apr 2016 Annual H.O.O.K.S. dinner benefits St. Joseph School

The 11th Annual H.O.O.K.S. (Helping Out Our Kids’ School) fundraising dinner was held recently with record-breaking results.

Just more than $100,000 was collected for St. Joseph School, which will pay for needs not in its budget. The money came from more than 550 supporters who dined on an all-you-can-eat array of fish, chicken and “fixings.” They also bid on a wide variety of items donated for both a live and silent auction.

The 2016 H.O.O.K.S. Committee included Bob and Cheryl Imboden and Ray and Betty Luyet (the event’s founders) plus Jeff and Beth Crowder and Frederic Simon. The Crowders and Simon will take over next year. “We want to thank all the volunteers who put in so much time and effort,” Jeff said. “Without them and our loyal supporters, this event could not be a success.”
