Pie Fundraiser
Thank you to all who sold pies for our recent fundraiser. Our endeavor to raise funds for portable lights was a success.
We almost reached our goal of leasing the portable lights for the winter months. In order to receive the most benefit from investing in lights and acquiring the necessary permits, we have decided o wait until the next winter to lease lights. In the meantime, we look forward to the longer, brighter days that spring is about to bring.
