Posted by Fun DMC on January 1st 2020
Happy New Year!
Cheers to making it through another year! We hope you and yours had a wonderful time closing out 2019 and that 2020 is off to a good start.
Fun DMC spent Tuesday night in Assumption, Illinois ringing in the New Year at the Casey William Foundation New Year’s Eve Party. The Foundation made sure everyone had a wonderful time, providing a variety of beverages, a catered meal from Rork’s Pork Barbecue featuring their new (and punny) “hotty by nature” sauce, late night pizza from Crawford’s, and a desert rush fundraising game.
