Many people are needed to help. Put in some work hours or just lend a helping hand. Donations are needed for the raffle: the more we have, the better. Maybe you, your committee, your workplace, your friends, and the businesses you like to go to would make a donation. It would all be appreciated. For ideas, questions, workers, donations, etc., please call Jody.
