We'll need donations - tickets to events, art, crafts, spa days, sports games, restaurant gift certificates, etc. We also need items donated to grade level baskets (details forthcoming) and you can always donate some time working the event. Contact Autumn Murray (autumnleaves@bellsouth.net) or Stacie Connerty (stacieconnerty@gmail.com) to help in whatever manner works for you!
