The Gladstone Senior Citizens had a spaghetti dinner last month to benefit the seniors and Gladstone Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department.

It was a huge turnout with over 100 people attending. They raised $1,300 and presented the Gladstone Fire Department with a check for $650.

The Gladstone Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department is raising money for a new mini pumper truck that they desperately need. The cost is about $300,000.
