The “Walk” raised $2,337 with about 25 walkers participating.

Our Chinese Auction was popular, and ticket holders won many wonderful prizes, including baskets of cheer, jewelry, a quilt, Avon and Tastefully Simple products, gift certificates for Zumba and TRX classes, a hand-painted flowerpot, and a basket for summer fun. Continue reading →
