The JC Breakfast Optimist Club and the Earl C. Gormley American Legion Post #45 partnered on Saturday to raise money for the JC Breakfast Optimist Club's S $1,000 Scholarship, to be awarded to a Junction City High School graduating senior who will attend a Vo-Tech school.

American Legion members purchased supplies and cooked the food, members of the Optimist Club, JCHS JROTC Cadets and Instructors assisted with the set up, serving and cleaning up during the breakfast meal. 

With donations and ticket sales the Optimist Club made a profit of $1,523. during the three hour breakfast fundraiser.
