Hello, members and friends!
Our April 2 meeting will feature our annual Auction for the benefit of the Scholarship Fund. Auction Co-ordinators Bev Berich and Gloria Richards are requesting volunteers to help with the event. It's all last minute activity: setting up tables; receiving and placing items as they come in; and pulling the winning tickets. All of this happens on April 2. So don't by shy! Call Bev at 717-248-4367 or email her at [email protected] to let her know you'll pitch in.
Every spring the PASR Scholarship Fund awards $1200 scholarships to each of two qualifying Mifflin County High School students. The Auction is one of numerous fund raising devices employed by the membership.
