Spring Fling
XThanks
to everyone who assisted in making our Spring Fling on June 11,
a success. Families were
very appreciative who bought bags of clothing, shoes and linens.
Folks had a bite to eat downstairs in our Lower Social Hall, and
some lucky individuals won our raffled door prizes. This year's
event realized a profit of $1880.32. Thank you again!
