This week, West Jordan and Draper citizens will want to attend public budget hearings to learn what programs and services their tax dollars are funding. As a reward for being such a concerned citizen, why not treat yourself to some free ice cream at the Salt Lake City Gallivan Center during an event that will also raise money for the Salvation Army?
Draper City Budget Hearing

OK Draperians, it’s time to get fiscal!

Show up and follow your money.

Ten Thousand Scoops Fundraiser
Wednesday, June 25
Sometimes a fundraiser is about donating time, money, volunteer effort or a combination of all three for a good cause, with perhaps the only reward being a commemorative T-shirt and some warm fuzzy feelings. This fundraiser is about eating free ice cream to help the Salvation Army. Yes, that’s right, show up and eat free ice cream provided by Denali Flavors and Meadow Gold Dairy. For each scoop served, Denali Flavors will donate $1 to The Salvation Army of Salt Lake City in an effort to raise $10,000 to support its important community programs. Free ice cream, a good cause … and free ice cream!
Gallivan Center, 239 S. Main, June 25, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., Facebook.com/Moosetracks/Events
