The Keuka College Enactus (formerly SIFE) team will sponsor a spaghetti dinner Thursday, Feb. 21 from 5-7 p.m. at the Moose Lodge in Penn Yan.

Tickets are $7 and can be purchased from Jordan Eaves, Enactus fundraiser coordinator, at jeaves@keuka.edu; or Desiree Ford, Enactus president, at dford@keuka.edu. Tickets will also be sold at the door. Members of the College community may have dinners delivered to campus (in front of Ball Hall) at 6:15 p.m. or 7:15 p.m.

Proceeds from the dinner will help fund the team’s trip to Baltimore, Md. in March for the Enactus regional competition, which carries an invitation to the May 21-23 national competition in Kansas City, Mo. The Keuka Enactus team has qualified for nine national competitions in the past 11 years.

At the regional competition, the students will deliver a 17-minute presentation describing four community service projects they have completed this year, including a Campus Sustainability Initiative (CSI); One Piece a Week, which donates restored furniture to the Tompkins County Task Force for Battered Women to help improve living conditions; and entrepreneurial programs at  Penn Yan Academy and PathStone,  a private, not-for-profit regional community development and human service organization that provides services to farm workers, low-income families and economically depressed communities throughout New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Vermont, Virginia, and Puerto Rico.
