Thank you to all the people who came out to support our cause. To anyone who bought tickets, donated baskets, and purchased signs and shirts - we are very grateful.
And THANK YOU to all the volunteers - we could not have done it without you.
DON'T FORGET - July 5 - 7 pm - Marion Center Park Hall - monthly meeting
Hope to see you there.
We are still fighting to preserve our community schools and the opportunities they give our children.
