As always, I would appreciate hearing any ideas
you have for our sales or other fundraising ideas. Our
ability to add the Salem Art Festival and the Eugene Celebration to our
fundraising events in 2008 contributed greatly to our
success. I'm hoping I can find other new venues for this
year. Please let me know if you have any
suggestions.
Thank you again for all you do.
Thanks
for your continued support.
