🍽️⚽ A huge thank you to the Altamont Masonic Lodge for hosting the Indians Soccer team for a team meal the night before our game! Your generosity and support mean so much to our athletes. 🧡🖤

And what a result — the Indians took the field and came away with a 5-1 victory over Wesclin! 💥👏 Way to bring the energy, Indians!
