A few weeks ago we hosted our first ever Illini Navs Banquet. Community members and parents were invited to this banquet. Our students were all on board with child care, valet parking, waiting tables, cooking food, etc. etc. We had 3 students and one Nav Alum share about their involvement with The Navigators. It was a truly wonderful event! We had three main goals in executing such an event:
1) Give people (parents and community members) an opportunity to hear more about what God is doing on campus!
2) Raise funds for the Illini Navs ministry (All donations went to an activities account for our organization where we help subsidize the cost of our events and conferences)
3) Give the students an opportunity to serve together!
It was a great success and we are very thankful to all of our students for serving and all of our guests for attending!!
