Events
Annual Community Event & Fundraiser – POSTPONED
Scholarship Party
We have good news and bad news. The good news is that so many of our Project Members are continuing their educations and going on beyond high school. The bad news (for this party) is that nearly all of them have already started and/or will not be available for the Annual Scholarship Party, and we do not wish to hold the event without the guests of honor.
This event will have to be postponed (possibly to January 2027).
