It will be decided at the next meeting how we are going to keep track of the cards once they are handed out. We will also try to set up stands at events around town to sell the cards. At this time this is not a mandatory fundraiser but would like everyone to be involved. More information will be given at the Spring Show.

If you know of a business that would like to purchase a sign or if you would like to see the list of businesses yet to be called and think you can help please email Shawn Peichel.
