Donations Request

In recognition of the efforts of our Science Fair judges, Denali will be hosting a luncheon for them on Thursday, March 17th.  Moose’s Tooth has generously supplied us with a $50 gift certificate and Great Harvest has donated bread and cookies, but that leaves us a bit short.  We need additional funding in order to provide pizzas and salad for our 20 judges as well as drinks.  If you can help us show how much we appreciate their dedication to our kids, please contact Theresa Cox at kiachloe@gci.net or 344-5859.  Any donations (money, drinks, paper products, table decorations, etc.) will be greatly appreciated.
