Right to Life of North Central Indiana held its last of four spring banquets on Tuesday, April 30 at The Cornerstone at Cedar in Bourbon, IN. The Bourbon banquet (formerly the Plymouth banquet) had a record number of over 180 guests in attendance! This final banquet brought the total attendance count to over 600 guests at the four spring Legacy of Life banquets this year! We are truly encouraged by the continual growth of the banquets each year. Guests were inspired by keynote speaker, Monica Kelsey, bestselling author and founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes. RTL Executive Director, Dave Koontz, also gave an encouraging update on pro-life activities in North Central Indiana. Jan Houin, of Operation: Quiet Comfort, served as the emcee for the evening. Guests enjoyed a meal and dessert catered by Log House Restaurant.
Over $9,900 was raised the night of the banquet, which when added to the $4,500 match challenge, resulted in a total of $14,462 raised! Right to Life donors promote a culture of life in North Central Indiana and beyond by:
