The Clinical Lab Science Club at Northern Michigan University recently donated $350 from its annual gourmet caramel apple fundraiser to the Marquette General Foundation's "Accelerating the Future" campaign. Pictured are (from left): Autumn Lowery, CLS Club President Kate Abrahamson, Jim LaJoie of the Marquette General Foundation, Michelle Stewart and the club's adviser, Paula Genovese. The students decided which varieties to sell on a pre-order basis, then spent a Saturday in an NMU Dining Services facility "elbow deep in caramel" dipping apples, rolling them in assorted toppings and packaging them for delivery. They sold 288 apples-double the count of their inaugural fundraiser in 2009. Half of the profits went to the foundation, with the remainder supporting club activities such as field trips and conferences.
