ROCK ELM, WI – On Thursday, July 24, the Rock Elm United Methodist Church held its 130th Annual Ice Cream Social, with over 300 people in attendance. Once again, community members came to enjoy seven flavors of homemade ice cream—available both to take home and to savor at the church alongside sandwiches and pie or cake.
In addition to the food, guests were treated to live piano music in the dining room and a special performance from a calliope brought all the way from Missouri by longtime member Ron Holcomb.
Pastor Meg Erickson said, “It is really exciting to see the enthusiasm of both church members and friends who come from near and far to help make these events so successful.”
Sue Thompson, who oversees finances, noted, “All of the profits generated by the social will be donated to charities—local, regional, and even some international.”
We’re already looking forward to next year’s event.
