We raised (gross) approximately $24,800 on the two Father Daughter Dances. Next year the dances will be the last weekend in January and the first weekend in February.
Many, many thanks to Debra Miles, Susan Lindskog and the many other workers for making these events such huge successes.
Cynthia Wolfe spoke to the need for a central storage unit. Ellen Rice made a motion for a combined storage unit with the CHS Booster Club. Members of the storage committee will select the final location. Carol Riley seconded the motion. Unanimous approval followed.
The Palapalooza is being led by Cynthia Sanderson (cynthiasa@comcast.net). Help is needed on the afternoon of Friday, March 7 for decoration and preparation. The Palapalooza is set for Saturday, March 8 from 6 to 9 p.m. Dress casually in jeans and tennis shoes, as there are opportunities to dash and stretch. This activity night for moms and sons (elementary age) is a local favorite. Come join the fun!
