More than 600 boxes of cans are collected at our firehouse each year. The crew also does many service projects for the church such as table and chair set up and take down. Our biggest annual service event for the church is the school picnic. Venturers help set up the picnic grounds, march in the school parade, run a booth, perform various service crew jobs on picnic day, and clean up the picnic grounds on the day after. Over Memorial Day weekend, Venturers from Crew 2179 participate in placing graveside flags during ceremonies at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.
Venturers are truly a youth asset for the church and the surrounding community.
Items such as ribs, pork steaks, bratwurst, and hot dogs are sold by the plate. Participating youth members also get a share of the profits based on hours worked. Their share helps to defer costs associated with summer camp and other crew activities. EVOA Committee Mtg. Nov. 13 EVOA Committee Mtg.
