The 2008 - 2009 school year finally is off and running. Thanks to Tropical Storm Fay, we had what seemed to be two first weeks of school. We have completed our fall fundraising cataloge sale. Orders still can be place through the website of www.gafundraising.com. Donations, were also collected, for those families that did want or don't like to particapate in cataloge sales. As of September 19, 2008, an approxiate net amount from all three areas is $13,000. Well on our way to our goal of $20,000.
