Program: “Annual Fundraiser Kick-Off” presented by John Olson, PEN introduced by Amy Norman.
John Olson presented this year’s fundraiser theme “Get on the Bus”. With John’s funny wit, he presented several theme choices and how “Get on the Bus” works with a driver, route and passengers. Seventeen drivers were assigned to help all the passengers get “off” the bus. For every $50 paid, one raffle ticket will be given so that you may place it in one of the raffle boxes to win a fabulous prize. The funds raised will be the operating budget for the 2019-2020 year.
President Elect Nominee John Olson was given the Inspiration Award.
Thank you from President Amy - Be an Inspiration!
