Next up: Warrior Cards & Purse Bash, opinions on candy sale
Warrior Cards in November. Purse Bash in January – always open for donations and baskets. We are going to try and assemble massive grade-level themed baskets. Rosalinds in the spring – do we want to do it again or try something new based on the fact that everyone sells chocolate.
