Recommitment forms – if you haven’t returned them, please do so immediately. We need to start our pledge meetings. Also, we do still offer the Goods and Services option as part of your pledge. It wasn’t a great success last year, but there were some things that were taken up and helped out our school. So if you have something to offer that you think might be of interest, please bring it – especially if somebody bought it last year. Thanks.
