All proceeds from the ice cream sales go back into the community and allow the Ruritans to continue to provide scholarships and many other projects throughout the year.
Also, on Oct. 21, the club will celebrate its 70th anniversary at the Henning Church of God fellowship hall beginning at 3 p.m. They invite all of the community to help them celebrate this milestone.
