Discovery Routes and the East Ferris Knights of Columbus are pleased to announce that the Steak Dinner and Auction Fundraiser held on April 24 was a huge success!  We saw in excess of 120 people attend our event, and we managed to raise over $6,000 to go towards the building costs associated with the Voyer Trail.
