On Tuesday, May 23, DCDC held our Annual Fundraising Gala at the new Stables Event Center in Lamoni, Iowa. We had nearly 100 attendees, comprised of local business owners, community leaders, and DCDC supporters. 15 Local businesses donated raffle baskets, totaling over $1,400 in value! The meal was catered by Lizzie Yoder and served by the Decatur County ROCCS students. The meat was purchased with a discount from the Red Barn Meat Market in Lamoni. The evening’s program included;
– a brief introduction of our regional Small Business Development Center by Jamie David
