The Rogue Social Club kicked off the fall semester with its first fundraiser car wash on Aug. 29 at the local AutoZone in Columbus.

Social clubs are a great opportunity to get involved and make lasting friendships, but the fees can be very expensive. The main purpose of this particular fundraiser was to raise funds for new and existing members, so they will not have to pay out so much of their own money during the semester.
