Arning provides donation to CMS industrial arts students

Employees at Arning Companies recently made a donation of $500 to the Industrial Arts Program at Cassville Middle School. Funds were raised through Arning’s Casual Friday for Charity (CFFC) fund, which gives employees the opportunity to “dress-down” on Fridays by making contribution to the fund. Employees then select a local organization to donate funds raised through the CFFC program. Robbie Artherton, industrial arts teacher, plans to use the donation to purchase a new circular saw and a grinder for the shop.
