We also want to thank all of the sponsors (sponsor signs not pictured because they blew off in the wind, Adams Heating and Cooling, Sarah's Sews N' Such, and The Rustler Cafe) and everyone that donated food items and silent auction items. With all of your generosity, we were able to raise enough funds to offer 4-5 scholarships and have funds for future service projects! THANK YOU!
