This Week’s Trivia Question: Ronald McDonald House is this year’s Hearts of Gold charity. The first Ronald McDonald House, in Philadelphia, was funded through the sales of what menu item? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets a mention in next week’s Cheat Sheet). The answer to last week’s question was The Cadence. Vernon Wendt was the first to get the right answer.
Have a great week! Together, we’re investing in our students, because the future belongs to Pioneers.
