2. CRAFT SHOW NEXT WEEKEND, 11/9
A. CRITICAL NEED FOR VOLUNTEERS!!
There are tons of unassigned spots that MUST be filled. There will be 100+ vendors and thousands of shoppers in attendance, so we need lots of help to make this very popular regional show (that is also an important fundraiser for our team) a success. We don’t only need your time – we also need your BAKING SKILLS! Volunteer for a spot but also consider signing up to bring a baked good for us to sell. Sign up here: Craft Show Volunteer Sign Up.

    B. BOREDOM RELIEF PROGRAM
    Ms. Virginia North America, Taylor Ragano, will have a table set up to support her Boredom Relief Program. She will be collecting items (books, coloring books, games and other forms of entertainment) and raising funds and awareness for mental health patients in psychiatric hospitals and residential programs. Visit her website to learn more about how you can help. Get into the holiday spirit of giving AND maybe get your photo taken with a bonafide beauty queen!
