Although “Mum” is the word when customers ask PAWS volunteers where their beautiful mums come from for the annual fundraiser, the Shawnee College Truck Driving Program Coordinator Wade Ralls knows the route. Shawnee Community College’s semi made the trip as part of a long-standing tradition again this year on September 20th, loading a 53’ trailer front to back with beautiful mums. 

In addition to PAWS volunteers, The Shawnee trucking coordinator along with admissions/recruitment specialist Greg Shepherd made the annual trip utilizing one of Shawnee Community College’s trucks. The group spent the morning traveling to an undisclosed Amish farm loading the truck and returning to PAWS’ location in Anna.
