Wall Warrior calendars are still for sale from now until year end, $15 each if you didn't buy one the other night and/or won't be in attendance at the October Fundraiser.
I would also like to thank all my summer donators at this time, thanks to each of you I am over the 1/2 way mark and primed to reach or exceed my goal by year end.
A HUGE thank you to:
Uncle Jim & Aunt Rosalie
Aunt Barbara & Pat
Chip & Carol Hudson
Zak Fjeldheim
Donald & Nancy Small
Grandma Hudson
And Kobe (via Dad & Mum)
