3-on-3

Thank you’s to Michelle & Sadie for their volunteer efforts. There still are T shirts available for our sponsors, so please pick some up. We collected just over $11K but have yet to deduct expenses. Over 10 years we have raise $200K that has been awarded. Future efforts need help and there were many discussions about new ideas, focus of the scholarships, advertising to gain more female teams, contacting scholarship recipients to provide testimonials, start planning earlier, line up volunteers sooner, & Jim Maxwell offered to work with Howard Printing & Jenn simply volunteered, which is fabulous

 

Respectfully submitted by your biased & limited scribe
