Daffin’s fundraisers for study abroad still on

You can still get Daffin’s for Easter!

While the quarantine of Italy has caused the study abroad program to postpone its planned trip this May. It is expected the trip to Italy will take place during the 2020-2021 academic year. Therefore, the group is still actively fundraising.

If you are interested in having Daffin’s chocolate bars for part of your Easter celebration, please contact Cindy Sutton, Ph.D., at ext. 2084. We currently have a supply of all items (milk chocolate, semi-sweet, caramel, almond, crisp, peanut butter, pretzel candy bars, and chocolate covered pretzels) and are more than happy to put together an order for you!”
