and not making personal phone calls.

next year we need to list parents names separate instead of "Mr.

-
SHOPPING IN DECEMBER - This event went well but
we feel we need to do it earlier next year. Bob Twing played the

a thank you note to Betsy Fox who took pictures for free all night.
Nikki stated that the profit was $398.00 before the Santa donation.
