Bluffton University Nutrition Association is hosting its annual spaghetti cup dinner on November 16th at 5 p.m., at First Mennonite Church. All proceeds from dinner sales go to charitable organizations, led by the church. In order for all proceeds to be donated, BUNA strives for its dinner to be completely funded through donations.
