Our House to host trivia night fundraiser

Leaders with Our House are hoping a fundraiser that has been successful for other organizations in the past will help bring in supporters for their cause as well.

The group is hosting the first Our House: Caring for Callaway's Homeless Trivia Night at 7 p.m. on Sept. 16 at the Callaway Electric Cooperative. Registration for the event is $200 for a team of eight.

"There hadn't been that many (trivia events) this year, and some of the other board members hadn't been to one and thought it would be fun," said James Cruickshank, president of the Our House board of directors.

Cruickshank, who also is involved with Kingdom Projects, has helped write the questions for that organization's annual trivia night fundraiser for the past 12 years. He said that experience will come in handy coming up with categories and questions for the Our House event.
