AC4C Youth Substance Use Prevention Day on the Hill
AC4C will be having the youth training and lunch at the Iowa State Historical Building and then walking a short ways to the Capitol. The lunch will be the same as last year in the Historical Building, catered by Baratta’s (an Italian restaurant). We’ll have bowtie pasta with Alfredo sauce, tossed romaine salad with ranch and croutons on the side, bread sticks, and bakery chocolate chip cookies for $11 per person. There is a gluten free option of Penne pasta with white sauce. We have refillable AC4C Youth water bottles for the students again. More information about exactly how to pay for the meal ahead will come out soon, but check or Venmo to AC4C will work.
