“Help is needed
for the Michiana
Relief Sale. For Saturday, Sept.
24, I need 4 helpers to display quilts.
I also need 20 people to help with the pancake breakfast. (Some can be older children.) Now is the time to get items or pictures of
items in for the silent online auction (antiques, wooden toys, etc). I could also use some to step up and match
money that the children collect for My Coins Count. (I have 1 person who will match $200.)” –
Chris Oswald
