Call from the Heart
During the auction you were given a new opportunity to give & you came through! The total amount raised was $20,400 which was designated for a new bus for the school and a scholarship endowment fund. We would still like to raise approximately $3,000 for the bus fund and it's not too late to give. If you were unable to attend the auction and would like to support either of these needs, please call the auction office at 354-1922 and let them know how to designate your gift. Thank you all for your generosity!
