Annual Campaign
The 2016 Annual Campaign has been very successful. We are excited with all the support we
have raised and know how much of an impact it will have in this community. We have had
many volunteers out making phone calls. We appreciate all the hard work they have put forth!
Our bake sale was last Friday at the Meeting Place. They sold crafts, baked goods and other
treats. A big thanks to the Active Older Adults for putting the sale together!
It is not to late to give! You can donate money to help send kids to camp - take swimming
lessons or help a family afford a membership. Every bit counts, lets make an impact in our
community together!
