Also at the meeting, it was announced that Purdue Farms has donated $2000 for the elementary school volleyball programs.  The money will help to fund all four coaches in the program at Washington’s elementary schools.  Purdue also donated one hundred pounds of turkey to the school system for the upcoming thanksgiving meal.  Schools have had a hard time affording turkey as costs have risen due to the bird flu incident earlier this year.
