SPECIAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS

"Cheeseburgers and Fun" was held on Saturday, August 9, 2008.  The weather cooperated and the event was a huge success!  The crowd was far larger than anticipated and as a result we ran out of food.  We apologize to those that did not get in line in time.  Plans are already underway with a goal to make next year's event better.  A date and details will be posted on this site as they become available.  Thank you to all who supported and attended.  We hope to see you all next year!
