VFW Post 2689 Ladies Auxiliary held a "Date Night" basket raffle to raise money to purchase Girl Scout Cookies to send to the Troops in Afghanistan. The raffle along with donations from the Post and men's and women's auxiliaries raised enough money to purchase 115 boxes of cookies and money towards shipping the cookies. Young's Café also donated money for shipping.
