As of now, there are only eight more days until District Convention...are you excited? You should be!

Non-event-wise, we have been selling doughnuts this week, and our children’s book drive will still be happening.

This Sunday, March 30th, is also the tentative date for putting together care packages. We will be putting together kits of coloring books and crayon boxes for local hospital kids. Hopefully, you can come help us out!

Fundraising committee selections will also wrap up soon. In the meantime, get to know some of your 2014-2015 officers (Emily, Carmen, Lynda, Jennifer (next term’s bulletin editor!), Cindy, and I) if you haven’t met us already!
