Scholarship Fund-Raising A Hugh Success

The district baskets were awesome!  Thanks to all of you that had a part in the making of the baskets.  Also thanks to all of you that purchased raffle tickets.  Your support of the scholarship fund was amazing!  We raised $1,461.00 with the basket raffle.  Another $1,225.00 was raised with the auction of the 2 refrigerators donated by General Electric.  Special thanks goes to Jim Ernest, the GE representative that offered the refrigerators to help kick off our scholarship fund-raising.  Such success was only possible because of the prevailing attitude of what a good cause this is.  Thanks for investing in the kids, our future!
