Look for more information for the following fundraisers that are being planned:

Rummage Sale:  Bring your clean, gently used clothes, house-wares, toys, furniture, etc, and you will receive credit towards your fundraising balance.  Increase your credit by volunteering to work at the Rummage sale, and REALLY increase your credit by HOSTING the Rummage Sale.  We are still in need of a Host Family, you pick the date.  (Preferably June or July, but negotiable!)  Contact Kate Ragland for details.
