Emergency Preparedness Class -
Our Emergency Preparedness Team invited Red Cross Instructor Erin Huey to conduct a class in

Erin was so thorough that Susan truly wished she had volunteered Stacy's home for the class
instead of her own!

keep it safe and fun for the kids. Thank you parents and neighbors for showing up and for all the
donations you made, whether it was your time, money, food or drink.

see how the kids have grown in a year AND how many
brand new, nearly new, and soon-to-debut children there are!
