Fundraising Banquet 2015


The RJC Corporation Annual General Meeting and Fundraisings Banquet, held on October 24, was a huge success.  The event celebrated the achievements of the RJC athletics program through the years.  As part of the evening, alumni and current students were interviewed during a light-hearted Mennonite Sports Central Committee segment.  Some championship teams from the past who did not have banners on the wall were also recognized.  Their banners have been added, which give guests something new to look at the next time they visit the RJC gymnasium.




The gymnasium was filled to capacity.


The silent auctions items were popular.

Brent Guenther was Master of Ceremonies for the evening.


New banners (from years past were added to the RJC gymnasium walls.
