SPRING FUNDRAISER
Our new Fund Raising Committee Chairman, Dick Boxwell, wants to remind everyone that our Spring Fund Raiser will be held on Friday, April 15th and Saturday, April 16th at the Pleasant Valley Walmart. The day begins at 8:00am and goes to 6:00pm and is divided into five two-hour shifts X four workers per shift = 20 workers for the day - that's all!
We wish to remind everyone that these fund raisers are the major source of income to fund our Chapter activities throughout the year. They are critical if our Chapter is to continue to remain active and be one of, if not the, best Chapters in the entire Korean War Veterans Association.
FOR THE FUND RAISER TO BE SUCCESSFUL WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO AGREE TO WORK A SHIFT AND TO BE SURE TO SHOW UP AT YOUR APPOINTED TIME.
