ODSC Charities
OD Shag Club and
OD Shag Club Foundation Charity Donations
The ODSC & ODSC Foundation presented the following checks to charities.
The Boards and several members were able to present the rewards of all the hard work to numerous local charities at Fat Harold’s.
It was a pleasure to talk with each of the charities and to be a part of a Club that wants to not only have a good time, socialize and dance, but likes to give back to the community!
