DONATIONS still needed for the Chinese Auction and Silent Auction at the Reverse Raffle. Harvey and Melissa Crowley are chairing this event. Please help them - as this has been a huge success in the past. If everyone could bring in two items to be auctioned off it would make their job so much easier.
